Take a look at this light pollution map of my local area.

I live pretty much inder the crosshair… white, which from the key reads as follows: “Entire sky is grayish or brighter. Familliar constellations are missing stars. Fainter constellations are absent. Less than 20 stars visible over 30 degrees elevation in brigher areas. Limiting magntude from 3 to 4. Most people don’t look up.

Great huh? Parade called on account of rain. 😮 NOT!! 😉
