light pollution map

// ESSENTIAL TOOL: LIGHT POLLUTION MAP //

Just a quick one today. If you are serious about skywatching or trying to capture anything decent with your camera, this site is absolutely essential.

I use Light Pollution Map to check the Bortle zones before I even think about packing the car. It is a total waste of time driving out to a spot only to find out the sky glow is going to wash out your footage. This map shows you exactly where the light ends and the real dark sky begins.

It saves fuel and saves frustration. Highly recommended.
