Philip's Dark Skies Map shows the visibility of stars from any location in Britain and Ireland. Stargazing can be frustrating where visibility is affected by street lights and other light pollution - use this map to find your nearest dark site or to avoid areas where light pollution will reduce your chances of seeing faint galaxies and other deep-sky objects. The underlying road mapping will allow you to plan a route to your chosen site.Philip's Dark Skies Map is published in association with the British Astronomical Association's Campaign for Dark Skies, an organization that campaigns to protect and improve our view of the night sky. The map has been created using data from the Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute in Italy, carefully combined with a Philip's road map (scale 20 miles to 1 inch). Different colours represent different levels of light pollution, and this information has been superimposed over the road map.

Finding A Million Star Hotel written by Bob Mizon and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-07-04 with Science categories.
Bob Mizon, one of the world’s best known campaigners against the veil of light pollution that has taken away the starry sky from most of the world’s population, takes readers to a hundred places in the UK and the USA where the wonders of the night sky might still be enjoyed in perfect or near-perfect night skies. Visiting small hotels and simple campsites, and savoring vast dark-sky reserves where the night sky is actively protected, The Million-Star Hotel celebrates the black skies of yesteryear – which may become a reality for more and more of us as modern technology reins in lighting and puts it only where needed. How can you prepare for your stay beneath the stars? What astronomy can you do during the daytime? What kind of equipment will you need? Questions such as these are answered, and if town dwellers return inspired – and, Bob hopes, also inspired to look with fresh eyes at their own local lighting – there is enough information here for them to equip themselves for some urban astronomy too.
