Bring your preferred astronomy guidebook or use a star-gazing app to help navigate the night sky and spot various constellations and celestial bodies.

Some tips:
- Make sure to reach your chosen location early to find a great spot without any trees obstructing your view. Also, it's a good idea to bring along a star map for a more interactive experience.
- Remember to wait for your eyes to adjust to the darkness for at least 20 minutes before you start star-gazing. Use a dim red flashlight as white light interferes with your acclimatized vision.
- Finally, keep in mind that the forecast may not always be accurate. If your date gets cancelled due to weather conditions, don't get downhearted. You can plan for a cozy indoor date with a movie night or games.
