The mission of the Central Florida Astronomical Society Dark Sky Advisory Committee is to educate government, professional and civic organizations, home owner associations, and the general public regarding the use of outdoor lighting that will increase safety, be more economical, and restore and preserve the natural beauty of Central Florida's night sky. The Dark Sky Advisory Committee will also advise local governments regarding the adoption of outdoor lighting ordinances and act as informal intermediaries in outdoor lighting disputes between government, commercial or residential groups, at no cost.
