Dark Sky

I sort of live in a dark sky area...it does make a difference at
night, especially during cooler Fall/Winter months with low relative
humidity.

Local small town sits in a "hole" so its lights has little effect
where I live, some ten miles away. When they turn on stadium lights
for games, this affects star viewing.

That's incredible (not literally, and sad).
