Wolkenlos, von einem einzigen Stern durchstochen, glimmte ein kupfern grüner Himmel durch die Scheiben.

Cloudless, pierced by a single star, a copper-green sky glowed through the windows.

James.. schimmerte = glimmered... finde ich aber auch romantischer und treffender.. Peater hatte einen guten Vorschlag 👍

Thanks, but Ill leave it the way it is.

Concur with that. Then consider, " ... a copper-green sky glimmered through the windows." Glimmer indicates a paler, weaker and more romantic "glow". "Glow" would suggest a constant dim illumination such as from an airplane's instruments.
