Hi again

Hi all

I was contributing and visit this forum last year.  I took an enforced break from astronomy.  Sometime during the winter of 2020 and early 2021, there was a big influx of artificial lights in my town in the only view I had (south).  Possibly an increase in activity in the docks area resulted in them needing more lights to be on all the time.  At best the clear outside tool rated my sky at Bortle 6.  However it was never dark no matter what time of night and it got to a point where it was so bright I couldn't find anything any more.

 

Last week I completed a house move to Bortle 4 area.  The first 2 nights were very dark but also I was very tired so no observing.  Looks like the weather is picking up from now on, and I will return to contribute again 👍
