"Sky quality measurements were recorded at Bodie Island in Cape Hatteras NS on 11/14/2007. The site demonstrated a scientific darkness reading of 21.76 SQM."

"Re-visit of site from 2007. Bodie lighthouse is not operational at this time. Recent Hurricane Irene has limited access to most of Cape Hattera NS. Previous sites at "Boardwalk 27" and Frisco are not accessible due to Hwy 12 washouts. We planned on capturing data at Oregon Inlet Campground for "dark site", but upon return at night, found intense (DOT construction style) lights at roadblock just south of campground. These lights were too bright to collect data. The lights are present as alight dome from the maintenance/housing site, appearing almost due south. There is also a single bright white, unshielded light in the maintenance area to the north. Other light domes are visible to the west and north (Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, etc.). The Milky Way is prominent in anorth south alignment and Jupiter is bright in the eastern sky. A few passing clouds were visible prior to and during the 1st data set. Overall, a nice clear sky for the second consecutive night. There is a high extinction due to the excessive moisture in the air. This site is somewhat shielded from sea spray by a row of sand dunes (5-10 meters high). While power had been off earlier in the week, I believe that most lights (especially to the north) or now operational. The lights of Hatteras Island may not be on because of no access, but the light dome from the temporary road block prevents us from seing anything to the south."
