I happen to own a couple telescopes.
Let me ask you. Would you welcome all night loud parties next door to your home? No, it would interfere with your right to enjoy your property, and that is a reasonable purpose to have noise regulations.
I don't welcome all night bright lights next door to my property, because it interferes with my right to enjoy my property. No difference.
If you keep your light to yourself, have at it. Just don't shine it in the direction of my telescopes.

And what are your telescopes doing pointed at my lights? Hmmmmm, me thinks those aren't stars you be lookin at. :)

Your house is disrupting the flow of my Chi. Better tear it down.
I concur. What amazes me is there are so many people afraid of the dark as evidenced by all the street lights. Personally, I like by property being dark at night. It makes it easier to see the 'perps with flashlights......
I understand that one!
I have for a long time done some star gazing, although not as much as some people, and have an 8 inch dob. When I first started getting into some nice and dark skies, I realized I was having trouble recognizing some constellations, because they had more stars in them than I was used to seeing!
My dad moved down to Jeff Davis county in Texas in part because of the dark skies.
