Reclaiming our dark skies !

I said I would do some research on getting observatory status, In order to get light intrusion reduced.
Details are from AS4282

"NOTE: A list of community and scientific optical observatories is available from the
Astronomical Society of Australia (Designated Observatories Officer), c/o School of Physics,
University of Sydney, N.S.W. 2006."

For some, this may be a first step in getting light intrusion reduced in their area.

AS 4282 goes into quite some detail on reducing light pollution for the benifit of astronomical observatories.
