Light Polution threat for Qld Astro Fest

Hi All
Today I received and Email from a concerned farmer who lives at Colinton
not far from the Astrofest site.
In his email he states that 13 extra large light posts have been placed on the D'Aguilar Hwy and at the turnoff to Toogoolawah.He has an interest in
Astronomy and has attended Astrofest when he can ,and is concerned of how this will affect this years Astrofest and future ones.

Althought is area is still some distance from Astrofest, I do not feel it will make much difference,but it will be interesting to see if any glow is noticed from the site

Regards
Dave
