Measuring Skyglow

Post by sciencegeek1337 »

I am currently working on the "Using a Digital Camera to Measure Skyglow" project (which is a lot of fun). My partner and I have the data pictures of the sky and have made histograms of the rectangular section in each, collected from a 4-week period. We were wondering how to interpret the graphs in a meaningful way that relates to skyglow and light pollution. :D

Hi!
Sounds like a really interesting project. It might be helpful to look at other posts in this forum about the same topic, for example-
