[Re: michael129]       #5199799 - 05/01/12 10:03 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Mazel Tov and congratulations. I live in Mitzpe Ramon and give star tours there. I've been trying to figure out what to do about light pollution here since we came to Israel 2 years ago. I would love to connect with you. By far the worst light pollution here comes from the IDF officer training school, B"D Echad. They just installed some new lights that are brighter than a soccer stadium, and they leave them on for most of the night. What they are for, I have no idea. They seem to be illuminating nothing but empty desert. I would love to be able to turn them off. See my web site below and be in touch. /Ira Post Extras:       michael129 sage Reged: 10/26/09 Re: Major change in israel.
