Shlama Akhi Chuck:
There are no other distictions between dusk and dawn than the "watches of the night". So theoretically we do not know precisely when the women went to the tomb, whether it be the first watch or the second watch of the night. The watches were divided into 3 hour intervals. The first being around 9:00 P.M. (dusk) the second watch being 12:00 midnight, the third watch being 3:00 A.M. and the fourth watch being 6:00 A.M. (dawn). Correct me if this is wrong or an oversight on my part.
