Bring some binoculars, and when it gets dark, smoke a bowl, lay flat on your back with a pillow under your head, and look up at the stars through your binoculars. You will be amazed at how much you see --- the stars are much much brighter through binos, and there are billions and billions (Carl Sagan voice). If the moon is not out, and the sky is clear, you should be able to see the Milky Way --- slowly scan through that area with the binos and you will se some cool stuff.

It takes about a half hour for your eyes to really adapt to darkness, so after you use your lighter and turn off your flashlight, you will have to wait awhile before they fully adapt to darkness, but that doesn't mean you can't get started checking things out.
