mag 4 sky (Toronto)

Submitted my GLOBE at Night sky light pollution rating.

Waited for the end of astronomical twilight. I spent about 30 minutes dark adapting. Used my laser enhancement glasses to go in and out of the house. Took the clip board with large format observing log sheet. Sketched Orion and as many faint stars as I could see.



The faintest star was μ (mu) Orionis (4.30), up and to the left of Betelgeuse. No problem for σ (sigma) Ori (4.00) below the belt.

Everyone had their lights on. Housemates on the top floor. Cherneys to the east. No respect.
