I agree with Dennis here about posture. Especailly if you have a low
laying finder scope where you have to bend down as well as crane your
neck up and around to view through it.

You tend to find you squint a lot more when you new to the hobby or
observing, mostly because the muscles in your face are still getting used
to having one eye closed and the other open. Do what Trevor suggests,
(some people dont like this approach either) but it does work really well.
After a while your brain gets used to it and focuses your attention to
eyeball at the eyepiece, and you wont notice half a scope and part of
your backyard the other eyeball is seeing.

Cheers,CS
