When looking at visible matter, it's my right eye observing and left eye kept open (less strain with both eyes open). Dark matter is observed with the right (observing) eye closed, left eye open. Dark energy is best observed with both eyes closed. Aaarrgh!! Quick nurse ... the screens!

Some primates probably write better than some of us "educated" people.

Lefties, by force of nature and demand, have a better utilisation and cognitive balance between hemispherical cortex neuron's and in the long term are more adaptable to life's demands.
I Cant reference this claim just now though... Could be crap but i'm a leftie and am loving it.

Right eye open, left closed for me. Also works the same whenever I am sighting straight lines, edges of timber etc. I am right handed and right footed as well. Does that mean A weak right brain..? lol

All the Best

I am a definate right eye open with sometimes left eye shut.But when i'm engrossed in my viewing session i hang a dark towel over my head and then keep my left eye open.
I try to sometimes view with my left eye but its just not the same, whether its because its weaker or i'm just not used to it i'm not sure.
I am also right handed at everything.
Except ofcourse for when i'm using my x-ray vision whilst wearing my superhero outfit, then its definately both eyes.

At the EP I always have right eye open, left eye closed.

When using the standard cross-hair finderscope or Telrad I have both open so that I can get the widest field of view.... especially with the finderscope. My left picks up the vicinity and right watches the cross-hair or dot.

I'm usually right eyed, close my left eye if only viewing for a short while. On longer sessions I also use a patch and alternate between eyes.
