Light Polution
Unfortunately,since I arrived to my actual home (2 years ago)...light polution has been increasing continuously 
In 2006 Iīll bet for a Bortle scale 5...but nowadays (2008) itīs barely Bortle scale 6...
Here you are my four cardinal points in a bad night..:
East side
The village is located east -southeast of my backyard.Light reflections over
the clouds or fog ..Anyway,in very clear nights itīs my better option
West side
No words.A new urbanization and lamppost .Few chances.Only
useful at very high elevations.
North side
Very similar to East side...Light seen is from Renedo,a town with
a population of about 3000 , 5 Kilometers in that direction...
South side
My neighbourgh home.Not too bad ,but the house donīt let me
to image objects under 50 degrees of elevation..Despite that..useful..
