My backyard at the moment is floodlit with nearby night roadworks.
It's an increasing trend lately....
At least my situation is temporary, the roadworks are for another
few weeks. Trouble is, Feb and March are usually the best seeing!
Here's my backyard tonight , facing west.
This is a 20 sec exposure, albeit full moon night, but you can see
the contribution from the roadworks floodlights about 250m away.
The pink light coming from the dome is the dome red nightlights.
I was taking darks and doing a Proxima Cent set tonight.
I can see the tree tops litup - for me they will light up the whole observatory - there I no escaping it
