Ha, just kidding. Seriously, if you know a detail is there, you'll know exactly what to look for, and often you'll see things that you wouldn't have otherwise seen. Protect your night vision. You'll see a lot more once your eyes have gotten fully adapted to the dark. Often, that takes over an hour, so think twice before you use a flashlight to look at a star map.
Experienced stargazers wrap a piece of red cloth around the front of their flashlights.
Red light doesn't spoil your night vision the way white light does. Stargaze in rural areas far from city street lights. If there are outside lights in your observing area, you must neutralize them. I block them by observing behind trees and buildings. My mentor, the irrepressible Biff Smooter, uses a 22-caliber squirrel gun.
