My last worry about attending AASP next month is light pollution. Not the kind
in the sky but the kind that comes off my laptop’s screen. Or worse yet, the
dome lights on my car.
I guess for the laptop I could throw a beach towel or something over it to keep
the stray light to a minimum. People might think I’m being antisocial though
sitting there with a towel over my head.
The dome lights on the car (Ford Explorer) are a bigger problem. Looking in the
manual, I don’t see any way to turn them off. They’ll come on each and every
time I open the door. And since I’ll be sleeping in the back, I’ll have to be
able to get in and out. A beach towel won’t work in this case. Should I make
sure there’s a big RV parked between me and the viewing field?
So what do people do to control the stray white light that everything seems to
emit?
