Field studies are complementary measurements. These measurements allow for determining the level of light pollution in significant areas that cannot be covered by ALPS stations.
ALPS (All-sky Light Pollution Survey) project's main goal is to monitor light pollution through taking pictures of night sky and measuring it's brightness. These observations are made using automated stations located in places with diversified light pollution level. With that, it is possible to show how much light pollution is affecting the night sky
