Maybe it was because we had more time to study but we believe that we made out all 4 moons this time. Exciting to do.

Dark adaptation as well. The longer you stay out there without any bright light intrusion the more sensitive yours eyes adapt. 20 minutes is about where they get really started. Also you see more as you learn to look and not just 'see' without recognising a target.
When I'm imaging I cover the PC screens with a black cover and just scan the skies with binos or eyeballs. Last night I had Eta Carina and Wishing Well by naked eye, very rare in my LP'd zone.
