Where I live all street lights used to be low pressure sodium (very monochromatic yellow!) Due to a nearby observatory. Now to hell with everything! It's LED lights everywhere. They're strong and not diffused so all the light comes from a small area meaning instant after image... (Sigh)

Even worse, people now put LED lights on their outdoor house fixtures and all kinds of office buildings pointing UP. Goodbye night sky...
