| The night sky brightness, together with number of clear nights, seeing, transparency, photometric stability and humidity, are some of the most important parameters that qualify a site for front-line ground--based astronomy. While there is almost no way to control the other characteristics of an astronomical site, the sky brightness can be kept at its natural level by preventing light pollution in the observatory areas. This can be achieved by means of extensive monitoring programmes aimed at detecting any possible effects of human activity on the measured sky brightness. |
