What a fun shot! And far more interesting than the photos I managed to take of the Perseids last night at their “peak”. Zero, actually, although I saw four. I did however grab some pics of the Parwich street light glow from two miles away, before and after the midnight switch-off, which I shall post shortly. I was rather surprised.

I promised a shot of the street light glow of Parwich and its impact on the night sky post midnight cut-off, and I thought I’d combine it with a slideshow of a recently-revived piece of music by Ralph Vaughan Williams. http://youtu.be/jjh6uGeu3I8
From what I have witnessed, Parwich emits only slightly less light pollution into the sky after midnight (at a distance of two miles) – the glow above the village remains surprisingly noticeable, if relatively benign. I had to check my watch several times just to be certain that I wasn’t mistaken about pre and post cut-off contributions to light pollution. However, it must be said that the green case for this initiative has been made quite convincingly, taken together with the rest of Derbyshire’s villages and towns.
