Floodlight spill light, Sundial Farm, Wentworth

Elevated view of Sundial Farm, Lea Brook Lane, Wentworth, Rotherham.
When the floodlights go on at Sundial farm, (inset upper right) it’s not just the ménage that gets illuminated. Due to a combination of ill designed and directed floodlighting light is able to spill far beyond its intended target.

The main image shows Mexborough & Swinton Astronomical Society’s observatory dome bathed in spill light - my shadow and that of nearby trees are clearly visible. This is disastrous, not only for the society, but any one who wishes to observe from what is regarded as a dark rural location.
