OBSERVING TIPS

•  Try to pick an observing site away from 

street and house lights and car headlights. 

While this is not always possible, the 

darker the site, the better.

•  Give your eyes about ten minutes to adjust 

to the darkness before observing. Give 

your eyes a rest from observing every ten 

or fifteen minutes to relieve eyestrain.

•  Try not to use a standard flashlight. 

Experienced observers use red LED flash-

lights, the red utility light on the Autostar 

handbox, or tape red cello-phane over 

their flashlights to use for setup and map 

reading so they don’t have to continually 

readjust their eyes to the darkness. Be 

careful not to shine bright lights if there 

are other observers in the area. Do not 

shine a flashlight into the telescope while 

someone is observing!

•  Dress warmly. It gets chilly when you’re 

sitting for prolonged periods of time.
