As I have had to do in the past, if you are arriving during twilight, or you feel there may be people already set up and imaging, perhaps stop over the hill, or down the road a bit, and walk up to the site to investigate it, and then proceed with low beams or parking lights. But every situation is different. In the end, try to get there and set up before sunset, I guess  .
I have never been phased with someone driving in with parking lights on or even low beams, just lok the other way. Having said that I'm not a fussy imager  |
Me too. I agree with Stephen & John.
One thing I found out the embarresing way.
If you have a vehicle with lights which turn on & off automatically, make sure you MANUALLY turn the light switch to OFF not Auto after you arrive.
My vehicle has auto headlights. They will automatically come on as soon as the driver's door is opened.
One night leaving the MPAS in Frankston I casually wandered up to the car at about 1am & opened the door to jump in.
POW!!!
Super bright light blasting across the observing field.......
I slammed the door shut, but regardless the lights will stay on for aprox 45 seconds. That's a REALLY long time when EVERYONE on the field has their eyes glued to you........
I couldn't get in quick enough to turn the lights off.
The broken bones didn't take too long to heal...
