1. Here is an article that is useful for measuring skyfog using
a DSLR

2. Dr. Suresh, This looks to be something very useful
for quantifying and something that can be done by everyone who has the right
digital camera (which will be quite a few people in India). I would like to
request everyone who has dabbled a little in astrophotography to look at this,
try it out and then post with their feedback.
We should look at all possible ways of qauntifying - from a simple star count to
digital imaging, to the kind of categorizations that the Sky and Telescope
article looked at, and so on. If amateur astronomers from all over the country
lend a hand, we should be able to come up with some useful data with this
excercise!

3. Dr. Rathnasree, A very nice pointer from Suresh,
Samir's website is right on topic. I should have a few results by the end of
this week, including our nearby dark site - Nuh.
