It is a very good idea, but poorly thought out by the organisers. Why arrange such an event on a night of the full moon when most of the night will be awash with moon light. The general population of Sydney will not full appreciate such an event and will not see the correlation between public lighting and light pollution. For event like this, it should have been organised at the time of the new moon. This way the general population can see what the night sky really looks like in all its glory and see and appreciate the connection between public lighting and light pollution and the absolute waste of energy which we the public pays for through our rate.
