Sky Quality/Bortle Quesstions
Hi all,
this may sound dumb to a lot of you, but anyway.... I have an observing spot not far from my house. It's just off a stretch of road with no street lights in Coodanup WA overlooking the Harvey River Estuary. There are trees behind which do a good job of blocking some of the skyglow from Mandurah & Perth to the north. On the light pollution map it's Bortle 4 with SQM 20.99. But seems better to me - more like 21.5 - 21.7 ish. Observing SE - SW seems good to me. Is this a thing or am I imagining it?
I've included a couple of shots of the Aurora Oz a month back to indicate. They were done with a hand held Android phone - a bit fuzzy.
