GROUND BASED NETWORK
Lungau
Light Measurement Network
In order to be able to give a better assessment of the darkness of the Lungau starry sky and to make future trends visible, a light measurement network with six measuring points will be installed in Lungau in the next few years in a cooperation between the Biosphere Park and the province of Salzburg. The first measuring point in Tamsweg has already been installed and has been providing data for some time.
