Light pollution map for Belgium: brighter areas are in red while the darker ones are in black. You can capture satisfying night landscapes, even in light-polluted locations. Even when I travel far away from the major cities, the darkest sky I can achieve will score a 5 or 9 in the Bortle scale. I live in Belgium, under one of the most polluted skies in Europe (do I dare to say in the world?). There you can also see how light- pollution has changed over the last 5 years. To get an idea of the light-pollution in the world, visit the Light-Pollution Map website. The best thing you can do is to travel as far as possible from large cities and towns.
