dealing with your environment when observing...

MOSQUITO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hate them, i had the most perfectly clear night last night, not a cloud to be seen, dark (till the moon came up) i was having a rather grand time observing with teh 20mm EP, then throwing the 2x barlow on for fun (m42 looks good through that setup) beautiful night, however...

10 minutes after setup, i was literally getting eaten by mosquitos! they've take my left leg (got another one on order though, should be here tomorrow)

last time i tried to put up with the mozzies, i was spraying myself down with RID every 10 minutes, just to keep them at bay.

so i ask, how do YOU keep them away?
