TL;DR Summary

StealthTransit has developed a solution called DarkSkyProtector to combat the issue of light pollution affecting astronomical observations. By implementing LED lights that blink imperceptibly, synchronized with a GPS receiver, telescopes can capture images when the lights are turned off. While it may be challenging to have widespread adoption of astronomy-safe lighting, universities and observatories could potentially install such systems to protect night viewing. The technology has undergone successful testing with a 24-inch telescope in the Caucasus mountains.
