Where to hold an observation

Before starting any observations you should look for a dark-sky site, since this will considerably improve your observations. Your backyard might do. Try to choose a place where you are not disturbed by direct light such as street lamps or lightened windows. City dwellers may have to travel to the countryside. This can involve transport problems, and maybe problems with accommodation. Camping or staying with friends are possible solutions. Such watches can be ideal occasions for astronomical camps. Young people especially like this. After the watch you should get enough rest and avoid unnecessary travelling.
