Mike mentioned Amazon's 'Utopia' series had their basecamp in Palos Preserves. Here's Mike McNerney's IMDb page if you're interested.

Finally, here's a link to a light pollution map of Palos Preserves. You can zoom out and see light pollution for the rest of the world. It also has overlays for prior years showing how light pollution is increasing over time.
Thanks for sharing that - last month, my best friend filmed a number of scenes near Maple Lake (or one of the adjacent sloughs) for an upcoming big-budget Amazon sci-fi series called "LightYears"..he's described the premise to me over the course of filming, and it sounds pretty bonkers/amazing.
