After 8 months the scaffolding is coming down from the building works opposite.
A lot of noise from early morning.
Those guys seem to have no fear high up.
Some other nearby sites have had similar scaffolding for years.
Revealed is a roof height about 8ft to 10ft higher than before.
My test object for 30 years has been the detailed stained glass and marbled glass large window, 120 metres away.
Multiple free artificial stars in sunshine.
The window is, I suppose, still there but I can't see it.
The three chimney stacks are still visible. Perches for crows, gulls and occasional other birds. Also the three loft windows.
I think that the superb Seeing will also have gone from the increased building volume and height. I could easily use 120x to 180x with a good scope.
I don't do much testing nowadays and just accept whatever happens.
I lost the 2 mile distant street and white building lights about ten years ago due to trees growing.
The night sky has vanished progressively over 50 years.
I have an award for my 30 years work on tackling light pollution. But in truth, things have just become impossibly bad.
There is hope, as France is passing legislation tackling nearly every aspect of light pollution.
Whether Britain will follow I don't know.
Politicians only stay in power by following the public's wishes. And the public are gormless.
As to all this development. Why so many people want to come and live in a messed up Britain, I don't know.

B.
