Calemeyr Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Dammit, I just want to see the stars, but because of all the upward light from street lights, thr sky is illuminated blue glow even at 2 in the morning. It's sad, man. I mean, I have this stargazing app, but I can barely use it.People say they like the city...I hate it. So fake, so little greenery, so much pollution, and damnit is freaking hot in downtown LA! This place is like the Midgar slums, I hate it. At least my apartment is nice and I can see the mountains/cityscape. The campus is nice, too, as are the places to go. But the general atmosphere. Blech.

Charrio Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Parks work if they have a treeline covering the borders to the city or suburbs.Large cities like LA not going to happen, they are always lit up night and day.I live in a small town so am lucky in that i have city bonuses and the farmland quiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Käpt'n Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I can't really see them here as well.My parents live in a very rural area in the north of Germany. When I went to visit them last year I brought all my camera gear with me to shoot the Milky Way. I went out to a field at like 1am. There still some distant lights at a refinery but still, it was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I like cities. They have a functional purpose, and they can be aesthetically pleasing. Monuments to the engineering prowess of humanity. But fuck them for photography. I can't get a good shot of the night sky from in here :U 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArielMT Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 This is one reason I like living in a small village. The only light keeping me from seeing the Milky Way most nights is the moon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutekh_the_Steak Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) We've got sodium vapour lampposts here in Scotland so we get an orange/red glow instead (not sure about the rest of the UK but it's probably the same). Thankfully I live in the suburbs so it's not like I can't see anything at all.I mean I there's still a tonne of stuff I can't see because obviously there's still light pollution, but it's far from being as bad as it is in in the city centre. There you can probably only see about 100 stars max, whereas out here I'd say it's closer to 1000 with the naked eye. I can see a lot more through my telescope though.
