Anyone shoot a night time (6 hours lets say) timelapse? Can the 6K pro do this? Thanks for any advice. I need a 10-15 second clip as part of short film.

If the camera has power supplied and your media has the capacity, the camera will record indefinitely. You need to have a way of ending the Timelapse function. The shutter duration may be a concern as the duration is determined by your normal cinema frame rate; so it’s not like you can have a 10 second exposure of the stars. If your project speed is 25 fps, your normal Timelapse duration will be 1/50” but you can set off-speed frame rate to 12 fps and shutter angle to 360 degrees to take an exposure of 1/12”. The moon is quite bright so you could capture that and some planets moving easily.
If your night scene is city lights at night, normal exposures will work.
What are your plans for the night scene?
