Night sky which is free from light pollution is a required condition to make astronomical observations. To protect an observatory from light pollution, some periodic observations are required to anticipate light pollution. Nowadays, the sky surrounding the Timau National Observatory is in an ideal condition to make astronomical observations. Night sky brightness which were observed using Sky Quality Meter (SQM) until 25 km from the location of the observatory, gave a value of more than 21 mpsas which indicates that the sky surrounding the observatory is in ideal condition. However, one should pay attention to some regions which potentially can be light pollution sources in the future. As an important facility, some protection should be implemented for the Timau National Observatory so the observations can be conducted as designed from the beginning. One of the efforts to protect this facility is to designate a territory surrounding this observatory as a Dark Sky Park.
