Just came back from a remote location in Cuba. Go out on a clear night, look at the sky for about 2-5 minutes to get your eyes adjusted, and enjoy the density of the milky way before you.
- robertfw 12y agoOne thing I learned while getting into astronomy is that full dark adaptation can take up to 25 minutes. Some will use an eye patch to keep their observing eye dark adapted (this may also be the reason that we associate pirates with an eye patch, to facilitate seeing above and below deck)
