Classic quote from the Eric Hufschmid site referred to above - "Nobody in a city can see stars at night."
Has this guy EVER BEEN TO A CITY ?

I used to live in Wellington, and in 1987 could regularly step outside my flat at night even when there was an orange glow from street lights in mist and, without dark-adapting, look up and see Supernova 1987A, plus many stars.
Fourteen months earlier there was no trouble also seeing a glow around the nucleus of Halley's Comet, although we had to get well away from the city to clearly see its tail.
