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.
Dress for standing still. You lose heat quickly when you are not moving, even on mild nights. Bring a layer more than you think you need, something to sit or lie on, and a hot drink.
