This showkit was produced by the Southeastern Planetarium Association
(SEPA) and is being distributed by IPS in agreement with SEPA. The
11-minute program is designed to educate the general public on the topic of
light pollution. It is designed to be added to the beginning or the end of
any star show.
"Saving the Night" was written and narrated by astronomer/author David
Levy. Recording artist Jonn Serrie produced the soundtrack. The show
features approximately 29 original pieces of artwork, including 5 pans,
provided by Edwin William Faughn of Memphis, Tennessee. Further visuals
were provided by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA).
The show kit includes an annotated script, 64 pin-registered color slides
with masks, a stereo soundtrack on CD-ROM, a digital image folder
containing all of the images used in the show, and 2 versions of the show
as a QuickTime movie, one at 12 frames a second and one at 24 frames a
second.
Funding for creation of the show was provided by Magnaray International, a
lighting company based in Sarasota, Florida (IDA member) and Meade
Instruments Corporation (IDA member), a manufacturer of astronomical
telescopes.
