A gonzo amateur astronomer you are not. Otherwise you would've known
that Hunter Thompson penned one of the most compelling manifestos
against needless, wasteful artificial illumination of the night sky:
_Fear and Lighting in Las Vegas_. Who could forget its opening line?
"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert
when the mercury- and sodium-vapor glow began to take hold."
