The silent menace. Wonder why it's taken so long for intense unshielded LED lights to be put in the dock.

To add to the back to nature feel Dalby is also the darkest part of the NYM according to our ongoing dark sky survey.

Nearly 140 people attended the first three dark sky roadshows staged for @Howardian_Hills Super level of public interest keeping our skies starry and curbing light pollution. We even got to glimpse wonders like Saturn's rings thru telescopes! @GoStargazing
Hey, @ElecHighway. There’s no reason for your chargers at Grantham services to be illuminated so brightly. You’re wasting electricity, and polluting the environment, too. Thanks for fixing.
.... we are destroying it because we don't value it. We go home, turn on the lights, watch television and forget there is a whole world operating in the cover of darkness.... because they need that environment. We don't need it so we forget it. AND we'll lose it. Soon
