Dark-sky tip

A bright Moon tonight. Its light hides the Milky Way and fainter meteors. Use it instead: binoculars on the line between light and dark show craters in sharp relief.

Use a red light. If you need a torch, cover it with red film or use a red setting: red light disturbs your night vision far less than white.
