Just a few little solar lights and a couple of 240 Volt outside lights on at the Homestead, and none close to where I was set up. So I want to take readings there - next time I get back. I'm debating whether I can get back in winter. Manager felt that the sky was much darker in winter.
Nah Eric its the stars that light up the sky out there (Starshine).
That zodiacal light is a pain.

The best way to see darkness is to hold your hand up in the air then look how dark your hand is ....Thats dark.

It will get cold out there in winter brrrr it is steady tho .

Cheers Kev.
