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.
