I'm with you Brendan,
At Dinmore the light pollution is getting worse, and within a couple of years we will have a new highway joining the Warrego and Cunningham highways, it will pass within 100 metres of my place, which means more lights.
As I work in the aviation industry, I will check on the CASA regulations for high buildings, but I believe they only call for red lights or strobes, not floodlights shining upwards.
I think it sounds more like a beancounter's "cheapest option" criteria.
Another question comes to mind though, The cooling towers at Swanbank have been up for years, why is it only now that they have to comply with CASA regulations, have they been breaking the law all these years?, and if so, why has no-one been prosecuted.
Brendan, why don't you come out to our SETI site at Aratula at weekends.
PM me please and we can meet up and talk. Or phone me on 3816 1813.
Mike
