Cool sunnies

Discovered that wearing sunnies before you go out viewing really helps with night vision.also looking at faint nebula with sunnies on really make them stand out. Sounds weird I know but next time your out give it a try, you won't be disappointed

do you wear a set of tea strainers on your ears to hear the cosmic sounds and flippers on the feet to get grip in the dew

Sound so strange it must have some basis to it.

lol houghy I got my better half to have a look too, and she said that the nebula really stood out a lot more than with the naked eye. Tea bags and flippers are next week hint.

yeah got a feeling it's more to do with the polorization of the glasses. Cutting down glare to make finter objects appear more visible.

I wore my dark-tinted prescription glasses one night to see the Moon better and it worked but I couldn't see anything else! Just BLACK! Mustn't be a polarised tint.
