Six or so years ago, approx 20 miles south of Brandon, FL in a still somewhat rural area, I had a great view of the milky way on clear nights. Now, a menacing dome of sickly pale light slops over maybe 150+ degrees of horizon and 45+ of vertical, making it difficult to see even Cassiopeia sometimes. I very much wish this wasn't so.

Hopefully darksky will save someone's slice of universe. In the meantime I'll be looking, unfortunately, on the brightside.
