Light pollution articles and letters in local press

Here's an example of what I'm trying to preserve by drawing attention to light pollution:

(Of course, I'm trying to protect our window to this view;  I don't claim to be personally saving the galaxy.) I was trying to photograph Scorpius, but I couldn't help getting a part of Sagitarius and the milky way.

This photo was taken in the desert under a cresent moon. I think the exposure was around 3 minutes with a 28 mm lens.

Of course, I'm over-joyed when writers speak to the topic of light pollution:

• Mark Ritter: Sometimes it's not so good to see the light, The Californian 7/26/10
• Mark Ritter: Let there be less light, The Californian 8/9/10

And I followed up with a letter: Light pollution letter, The Californian 8/18/10.
