They don’t shine with their own light, they’re lit by the sun.

Their brightness can vary depending on where they are in their orbits, thus how much light they reflect back, and Mercury and Venus (orbiting closer to the sun) even have phases like the moon.
I know that, my point is that we shouldn't be able to see the light of a planet outside of the solar system, but if the Ishgardian are using the movement relative to the other stars than it's all fine
