I have seen the zodiacal light on numerous occasions, both evening and morning, usually at a dark sky site away from light pollution. It can be spectacular at times. I've only seen the Gegenschein once and then faintly when it was pointed out to me. I've thought of it over the years but never really looked for it since, so it looks like I've got some homework to do.

For those that see the Gegenschein on a regular basis, is it best seen near midnight when it's near culmination or is it better to have worked out where it should be so you know the best place to look?
