We recently drove 2000 miles to a dark sky park at tip of Newfoundland and were rewarded with a sky like a chest of diamonds. With no moon I was surprised I could see to walk around just by the light of the Milky Way
I'm all for dark skies, but that's a pretty hyperbolic post title. How are the people and municipalities buying them not equally responsible?
I've been shooting at night for a very long time, and only very recently (with the onslaught of new 'astro'photographers) has anyone cared much. Flagstaff was way ahead of the curve on this, but it is not a large metropolitan city.
I live in turkey and i don't do astrophotography but it would be nice to see some stars once in a while. Im not even in the heart of the city yet the sky looks bright as day thanks to the new and "improved" LED lights with no reflectors put everywhere.
And no lol i don't really think we should be putting people in prison for not knowing better haha.
With bright lights on 24 h a day!
I notice this a lot more since LEDs became commonplace. The LED lights are very wasteful.
lol I hear you. It often bothers me to think that I’d need to drive for hours on end if I ever wanted to see some clear, non-light polluted sky

They are lighting up the world to torment us. It's headed in a worse direction and I stay inside because of it. They want us to feel like prisoners.
only after that guy from Audi that said LED headlights were a good idea
In my dream world, it is legal to hit people with those bright-ass headlights on. You even get rewarded.
I made a gif for that
