The Queensland town of Winton has been certified as an International Dark Sky Community.

The town has committed to managing its light pollution and installed warm bulbs in its streetlights.

Winton Shire Council and tourism operators believe the certification will attract stargazers wanting to experience the natural night sky.

    That’s still assuming the detection of oncoming vehicles is good and the window/camera system is cleared and quick enough.

    The auto high beams on my in-law’s new Honda doesn’t instill confidence that this will always be the case.

      I’m not sure Honda has developed a system like that yet. It’s mostly associated with European vehicles, from what I’ve seen.
