+**Please describe the filter in detail**
+ - A clear and elaborative description of what the filter should do
+ - What should the default setting should be (minimum, maximum, is exactly)
+
+**Can this filter create a bounded area without prior locations?**
+Examples of yes:
+ - Bounding box or ellipse can create a bounded region from the user's requirements
+ - An isochrone (equal time) plot from a single geographical location can create a bounded region.
+Examples of no:
+ - Light Pollution *cannot* create a bounded region, as defining a min/max sky quality meter (SQM) would operate over the whole globe without a prior region bounded
+ - [ ] Yes
+ - [ ] No
+
+**Detail the data source for the filter**
+Links and documentation must be provided. Any API key source must be entirely free.
+
+**Additional context**
