There is actually very little light around the observatory but the long exposure makes it seem pretty bright.

View from the parking lot – January 2019
External construction and most interior finishes were completed just in time for “Doors Open Jamestown” on January 19, 2019. Some work still to be done — but, we’re getting close!
Construction & destruction underway on August 1, 2018
It’s hard to look back at the demolition of the [original] additions to the observatory and remember the vision we had on August 1st 2018 as to what the observatory was to become. It’s been a journey none of us would have wanted to miss.
When this photo was taken now seems like a distant memory but it was just last fall. Open up https://martzobservatory.org/ [first image] to view roughly the same area as it appears today. It’s almost unbelievable.
