PL_1

            English: Hi people, here is the horror to the Astronomers, not only the professionals, but also to the amateurs... This is a map of the light pollution over the state of São Paulo in Brazil. This pollution affects mainly the observers of deep sky objects. Those observers that dedicate their time to observe planets like Jupiter, Saturn or Venus or even to observe the moon are less affected by this terrible thing. Although it is very bad to the observation, it is not so bad to Astrophotography, those aided with the right equipment can produce fantastic images of deep sky objects (nebulae, galaxies and some star clusters) even in the middle of the capital of São Paulo as I have already seen in some sites.

Português: Aqui está o horror dos astrônomos, sejam eles profissionais ou amadores... Veja o mapa de poluição luminosa do Estado de São Paulo que eu achei num site no google. Esta poluição afeta principalmente os observadores de objetos do céu profundo. Aqueles observadores que dedicam o seu tempo a planetas como Júpiter, Saturno, Vênus ou mesmo à observação lunar, são menos ameaçados por esta coisa ruim. Apesar desta poluição ser muito ruim para a observação de objetos de céu profundo (nebulosas, galáxias e certos aglomerados de estrelas), eu já vi fotos fantásticas produzidas no meio da cidade de São Paulo  de objetos de céu profundo por pessoas com o equipamento e tecnologias adequadas em alguns sites.
