I love that site, interesting (depressing) comparing how LP has been going up over the years. As I suspected, my backyard has become brighter over the past year 
Thanks for the heads up on the update! |
My dark sky site was once very comfortably inside a grey zone, now it's very close to the border with the blue zone. This is consistent with the increased brightness of light pollution domes I can see on the horizon. For example, Sydney is about 150 km North of my site. Until a few years ago, Sydney was seen just as a defuse glow along the horizon. Now it makes a small, but distinct, dome above the horizon. Although small, the darkness of the sky in that direction is clearly compromised and affects observations towards the horizon.
