I'd sort of agree with Mark. For doubles, dark adaptation isn't as critical as for faint extended objects.
From Shirley's criteria
Quote:
personal acuity (I had Lasik surgery and have 20/15 vision in my left eye)
dark sky / high contrast
steady upper atmosphere
elevation
mounted / high-quality optics (no experience with IS bino's)
level of fatigue
wine vs coffee
achieving dark adaptation
patience
good ~really good~ focus
stubbornness or perserverance (not sure)
I also am a believer in logging observations and developing a reviewable history.
I would say the most important are
personal acuity
steady upper atmosphere
mounted / high-quality optics
level of fatigue
wine
patience
good ~really good~ focus
perserverance
logging observations and developing a reviewable history.
