This is something I did a while ago using the Berlin Affective Word List (BAWL).

The BAWL contains ratings for 2902 German words (2107 nouns, 504 verbs, 291 adjectives). Ratings were collected for emotional valence (bad vs. good), arousal (the grade of valence) and imaginability (how well you can imagine the specific word). Please note, that I cannot supply the BAWL here on my blog. You can get the password for the Excel file, however, if you write an e-mail to Melissa Võ.

In German, you can use the suffix "-los" with nouns to mark the non-existence or non-presence of the noun and get an adjective. Basically, it works just like the English suffix "-less". If you want to express that no moon was visible during a specific night, you could call this night "mondlose Nacht" (moonless night).
