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.
Find real darkness. Even a short drive away from street lighting makes a big difference: the Milky Way needs a sky where you cannot read by the glow on the horizon. Look for a site with an open view low down in the direction you are interested in.
