otherwise after a while, your neck can snap off! my experience is electronic mosquito repellents are not as effective as the spray on type.
Anyhow, if you observe from the top floor of a multistorey car park, there are normally no cars and no mosquitoes plus it is usually very clean.
If you do not have a telescope, ensure that you have a copy of the star chart or something, so when the police drops by, they can be convinced you REALLY are observing and not some individual named "Tom".
