Phone apps to help measure light pollution

No, that seems fine, just so that feedback can be given. However, there's no ability to leave a comment and offer interaction (the section at the bottom to be logged in to leave a comment seems to be for webpage administrator only). A corresponding Facebook page might help, purely from the point of view that photos of light pollution along with readings (including screenshots of the data output) can be posted.

Just a two cents worth!

Great! Thanks Conn.

These apps have just got an update:

The new version of the app for Android is now in the play store! Thanks to those of you who helped us test for location problems and the new version of the app. If you experience a "jittery" behavior with the new version, please try quitting and restarting the star search (more info). A new version of the app for iOS that fixes two minor bugs will also come out early next week.

This weekend the moon will set early enough to make observations in the early evening. The current observing period will be open until about March 11. In the last observing period, 146 usable observations were submitted.

This month marks the 10 year anniversary of the Globe at Night citizen science project. Globe at Night was one of the projects that inspired the creation of the Loss of the Night app, and it's easy to take part. Since the Globe at Night time series is longer than the Loss of the Night time series, it would be very helpful if you could find a moment to make an observation between March 1-10. All you have to do is be able to find Orion in the sky and fill in a simple web form. Try making an observation with both methods, and see if you get the same answer!

Best wishes for starry skies,
