Hi there Skysurfer,
Thanks for your great compliment – and yes, sadly light pollution in South Africa is a rapidly growing problem. And you’re so right, in areas that one fully expects to have beautifully dark skies, way too many places are lit up with excessive and brilliant white lights that send light up, down, and all around to every horizon, from dusk until dawn. Motion detectors, shielded fixtures, warm-toned lights, timers, dimmers, restraint, consideration for the birds and bats and insects, and appreciation of a star-filled sky are a hard sell. Alas.
Regards
Susan
