Tips on tracking a fly ball that's gone above the lights?

Played softball for the first time last night in quite a few years. I was playing right field and I was trying to field a popup that landed in shallow right-center. The ball sailed above the lights and for a second or so I lost track of its movement because it was in the shadows. I ended up wiffing the catch because I misjudged the landing. I thought is was going to land on the lip of the infield, but it ended up in shallow right-center, and I didn't charge it enough. I never had an issue with this when I played when I was younger, but maybe because the fields I played on then were much better lit. Are there any tips that may help me better anticipate where a ball is coming down should that happen again?
