USING
> Find out how good the night or site really is;
> Compare the sky brightness at different sites;
> Document the evolution of light pollution in your area;
> Monitor sky brightness continuously night-to- night, year-to-year;
> Determine greatest nights for finding the faintest DSO;
> Use the software to collect, analyze and store readings;
> Draw light pollution maps based on the received data;
> Investigate correlations between different astronomical events and sky brightness;
> Take this meter with you on a journey or use as stationary device in the observatory;
> The system is initially calibrated, but the basic constant can be easily changed using
special software commands.
