CPRE is a countryside charity in the uK, this is an acitvity taking place between 6th and 14th Feb

https://www.cpre.org.uk/what-we-care-about/nature-and-landscapes/dark-skies/star-count-2021/

Basic task is to count how many starts you can see with the naked eye in the constellation of Orion.

I am guessing this is perhaps just in the UK in which case perhaps we can collect the data anyway and see if anyone is interested. Or it just a activity for anyone interested in Astronomy.
