Report #4
Tim Povlick conducted our fourth quarterly sky quality survey on September 30th. We now have survey results for each season. Here is a summary of the averages for these four surveys.
Here are the results from the September 30th survey. Weather permitting, we will conduct our next quarterly survey in the last week of December.
REPORT #3
This survey found darker skies at all locations. We don’t have a long enough time-series to explain this change. However, anecdotally, this survey was conducted later at night and we noticed some commercial parking lot lights were turned off this time. That was not the case in the past two surveys. And most home windows were dark because of the late hour. We suspect that is the reason for the better sky quality readings.
