Revised Answer (140 words):

The professor opposes the purchase of an outdoor lighting system because it would cost too much money and interfere with the use of astronomy equipment. The man in the conversation agrees with this idea. Firstly, he says that it is a waste of money because the university is going to buy something that students don't need, solely for aesthetics. This money could be better spent on something more important, such as completing the library renovation project. Secondly, he argues that they wouldn't be able to see the comet they have been tracking for the entire semester through the telescope if the additional lighting system were installed, as it would brighten the sky too much. This would result in a loss of hands-on experience and excitement for astronomy students, which is a crucial aspect of their education.
