Hint:
When approaching other stargazers in your car at night, turn off your headlights to prevent deterioration of their coveted nightvision.
Most newer cars will shut off the headlamps if the parking brake is depressed lightly (to the first notch). The car will still move but DO NOT leave the brake on for long periods or you could wear out the brake.
Use this technique at your own risk (you did not hear it from us).
