Hi.
A new greyhound racing track has opened not far from my place at Newcastle http://www.nswnca.com.au/the_gardens.html
These images show what happens when a race meeting is on. They were shot from my front yard a short time ago with my 300D and 50mm lens.

terrible isn't it Scott, And I live closer to it . i see nothing
I have a personal story here. Back in 1992, the Sydney Morning Herald did a story on light pollution. They interviewed me, and photographed me with my telescope in front of the Harbour Bridge. It made the front page.
That night, I was at a Day-Night cricket game at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The irony...

why is it we all seem to seek out sporting prowess
You should see what sort of community support you can garner against the lights at the dog track and kick up a stink about it - get it in the local paper etc. you never know your luck, you might be able to force them to install shields (not that it would fix the problem but it would be a start). Good luck!
