LIGHT
POLLUTION at Southern Stars Observatory
Since
March 2007 , the City of FAAA has installed Street Light in the road in
the North :N.West of SSO , the pollution is caused by 5 standard lamps
and one is just in front of the observatory . lamps are
Sodium high Pressure ,and they shine directly into my garden , all the night ( from 06:h00 PM to 05h00AM)
the telescope, it is protected by a long light
shield.
plywood masks are installed around the observatory, when observing (pics follows)
but observations stars are only from -20 South to South pole
We can stop direct light but not the scattered light to the sky, which is causing
detrimental effect to the international astronomical research work at Observatory
