  The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is the first Cherenkov telescope
equipped with a camera made of silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM).
Since October 2011, it is regularly taking data on the Canary Island of La
Palma. G-APDs are ideal detectors for Cherenkov telescopes as they are robust
and stable. Furthermore, the insensitivity of G-APDs towards strong ambient
light allows to conduct observations during bright Moon and twilight. This gain
in observation time is essential for the long-term monitoring of bright TeV
blazars. During the commissioning phase, hundreds of hours of data (including
data from the the Crab Nebula) were taken in order to understand the
performance and sensitivity of the instrument. The data cover a wide range of
observation conditions including different weather conditions, different zenith
angles and different light conditions (ranging from dark night to direct full
Moon). We use a new parmetrisation of the Moon light background to enhance our
scheduling and to monitor the atmosphere. With the data from 1.5 years, the
long-term stability and the performance of the camera during Moon light is
studied and compared to that achieved with photomultiplier tubes so far.
