With an extra bright moon hanging above us, would stars still be visible in the night skies?

The planet BlinketyBlink has a mass of 1.6 Earth masses and a single large moon which orbits it at about 240 000 miles/386 242 km.

The moon Totengot is about the size of Ganymede, has an atmosphere similar to that of Venus and an albedo of 0.70, with a lurid green tinge to it.

On BlinketyBlink night is only ever dark at the time of the new-moon, otherwise it has a more cloudy-day appearance (not caused by clouds), becoming "cloudier" as the new-moon phase approaches, and then increasingly brighter as it moves towards the full-moon phase.

If a plain ol' human on the surface of BlinketyBlink looked up at the night-sky during the full-moon, would he/she see the stars as long as the skies are clear?
