THE WEATHER AFFECTS THE NUMBER OF STARS SEEN BECAUSE, WHEN THE WEATHER IS CLOUDY , WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE MANY STARS, IF WE SEE ANY AT ALL!! IF IT IS PRECIPITATING, IT IS USUALLY CLOUDY, SO THAT CAUSES US TO SEE NO STARS. IF IT IS CLEAR, WE ARE ABLE TO SEE MANY STARS.

WE HAVE A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SURFACE LIGHTING. AROUND HERE, IN LINCOLN, THERE AR E FEW STREET LIGHTS, NO BILLBOARDS, OR LARGE AREAS THAT NEED MANY LIGHTS.

THE TIME OF NIGHT THAT THE OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE, AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF STARS BECAUSE AS THE NIGHT GETS LATER, THE MORE THE STARS.
