Twenty or so years ago I was observing from near Mt Keira, just east of Wollongong, on a night when the Stones were doing an outdoor gig in Sydney. Two search-light beams were visible waving about overhead, though they didn't affect observing. Still, if they were visible 60+km away I wouldn't like to be only 1 km from them. It must be a disaster.
I wonder how this 'promotion' is supposed to work? I've done enough camping to know what is attracted to lights at night. And moths and bugs don't bring much money with them.

Pondering that question I'm now wondering what is says about the intellect of those who are attracted to a venue by bright lights?
