That's the same problem we have in a fairly dense suburb, 75 x 120 foot
lots, there is a noise ordinance and a commercial light ordinance which
is strictly enforced but no residential light ordinance. I was thinking
of a mylar drop curtain to give it all back to him.

Hi Joe,
This reminds me of my neighbor. My wife and I live in a very remote
area
which was great for doing astrophotography until my neighbor decided to
take
advantage of the Massachusetts residential lighting program. For a
small
fee, I believe $7 per month per light, she decided to put up 2 sodium
vapor
street lamps, one on a pole near her home and one on the electric pole
near
our property line. And the funny thing is my wife and I have no say in
the
matter since there are no zoning laws in our town that would prevent
this.
We would have to take her to court on some infringement of privacy
thing.
So, in the meantime, I purchased a pen laser, found an old Primestar
satellite mount at the local dump, secured the mount on a steel pole
with the
laser mounted on top and aimed it at the light sensor on the top of the
streetlamp. I turn the laser on any time I wish to use the telescope
and
magically, the sodium vapor streetlight problem disappears. Now if I
can
only build a stronger laser so I can vaporize the darn thing. :)
