Studio — Who we are

A small crew, chasing the dark.

LINTANG started in 2019 with one telescope and a stubborn belief that everyone should see a real night sky at least once. We're now a team of four, a roster of seven sites, and a lot of thermoses.

Mission

We measure the dark
so we don't lose it.

Light pollution grows about two percent a year. Every site on our roster is logged, graded and revisited — partly so we can run good nights, and partly to keep a record of which skies are still worth protecting. When we guide a group, we're also making the case that dark skies are worth keeping dark.

The crew

Four people who
stay up late.

Portraits are placeholders — real photos of the team drop straight into these rings.
