There's not much one can do about that kind of lighting, I had my last observatory higher up on my block, the site next door was bought, I lent them power to build, made myself friendly, showed them the observatory.... My reward was 4 floodlights pointing at the observatory. Suffice to say we don't speak anymore, ive decommissioned the observatory into a garden shed and built a new one away from his lights.
I live 64 k from melbournes CBD and unfortunately light pollution is now becoming very noticeable, it wasn't when I moved here, so the solution is to go narrow band if it's very bad. I love the Ha black and white images so there's plenty to do if you are really hemmed in by the light.
I'm just gobsmacked at why councils feel the need to light up large trees, light if it's a safety concern needs to be on the ground, I can't see people falling out of trees at night to be a great problem.
