What is a light pollution map?
The light pollution map has two base layers (road and hybrid Bing maps), VIIRS/World Atlas/Clouds overlays and a point feature overlay (SQM, SQC and Observatories). Direct annual comparisons are to be avoided as there are too many factors involved.
Strong local sources of light pollution can degrade your night sky even more than more distant urban areas can. Some sky-glow is surprisingly local. You can often see more stars 15 miles from a big city than a quarter mile from even one bad rural shopping center.
