absolutely fantastic…

the difference between the new and old light were like night and day… no pun intended.

What did it take to have the local government agree to the light shades?

No, Tycho has his own black nose. And yes, he smells very well but not very good!

Excellent article, you’ve been doing outreach for 10 years? That’s serious dedication! I love that your dog’s called Tycho Brahe, he hasn’t got a golden nose has he? (I’ll resist the ‘how does he smell?’ routine!)

Great work, Starwalk! The astronomy ‘outreach’ is highly commendable and the practical, simple, cost-effective way to deal with light pollution is excellent. Maybe you might want to join the youtube astronomy group owned by BrunoTheQuestionable? It’s a brilliant repository of a wide variety of astronomy videos.
