CITY SKY GLOW MONITORING AT KITT PEAK
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1973A. A. HOAG, W .E.SCHOEMNG,ANI)M.COUCKE Kitt Peak National Observatoryt Photographs of night sky have been taken from Kitt Peak on clear moonless nights to provide a record of changes in contamination from artificial lights. Quantitative measures confirm the obvious qualitative impression that city sky-glow brightuess is increasing as is the case at ...

Measuring Anthropogenic Sky Glow Using a Natural Sky Brightness Model
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2013Anthropogenic sky glow (a result of light pollution) combines with the natural background brightness of the night sky when viewed by an observer on the earth's surface. In order to measure the anthropogenic component accurately, the natural component must be identified and subtracted.

A bit of a departure here in this chapter, as we are not dealing with astronomical objects per se but rather various phenomena that are seen in the night sky. Some of these glows are in our Earth’s atmosphere, while others are out in the Solar System itself. Each of them is pretty amazing to see and photograph but does require special conditions and/or

Sky-glow conscious lighting design
Lighting Research and Technology, 1994As society becomes more environmentally conscious the problems of obtrusive light, and particularly 'sky glow', have led many road lighting engineers to demand full cut-off luminaires emitting no l...

Auroras and Other Glows in the Sea and Sky
2018In this, our last chapter on astronomical objects, we will look at what glows in the sky and in the sea. Some of the phenomena in this chapter take place high and low in Earth’s atmosphere, while one comes from space and another is in the sea. If the Moon is bright in the sky, some of them will be harder to see, so you will have to keep that in mind ...
