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.

Look slightly away. Faint stars and smudges show up better when you look a little to one side of them. The edge of your vision is more sensitive to dim light than the centre; astronomers call it averted vision.
