So I did a night time observation right in my own backyard. I took a toilet paper roll and counted the numbers I saw through it 20 times. So the total number of stars I saw at 9:30 p.m. on June 24th was 19. Divide that by 20 and I got 0.95. It was pretty low, but that was expected for my area because I live right behind an elementary school. The new lights on the building aren't as bright as the old lights, but it still gives off a lot of light. When I multiply 1.9 by 99.3, I can see a total of 189 stars in the sky (rounded). It's not a whole lot so it shows that there is a lot of light pollution around my home.
