Ken Runge wants to know why more deference hasn't been given to concerns expressed by Hyde Observatory staff regarding light pollution from the current and future Talent Plus buildings. I can see why he is concerned, yet I don't know if I care. I like the notion of having a place like Hyde Observatory, but let's be realistic: it sits smack in the middle of the city. Compared to all of the rest of the light pollution the Observatory deals with, Talent Plus is small potatoes.
Are there any astronomers out there who can tell us how much light is too much light for an observatory to deal with? Are we going to have to consider moving Hyde? And if we do consider that possibility, do we think it's worth it?
