Thanks for the sympathy you three. You're right Hoss. Light deflectors help but only so much. In this case it would still be a big problem even if they did put one on. My best hope is that the light is on a circuit breaker and can be turned off. My guess is that it is since they installed it themselves. Around here if you have the electric company put a street light in you can't turn it off but that's not what they did. This means that whenever I want to get my telescope out I'll have to pester them. I hate to be a pest to anybody, especially good neighbors like them who I love and respect so much. I guess that's what I'm going to have to do though. So I guess there are still great backyard astronomy nights in my future. They just got a little more complicated.
