Eye Patch for Stargazing

Every Pirate without a GPS knows that you need to know the stars (and to see them) in order to navigate. But did you know that wearing an eye patch can help you see the stars at night? The connection between wearing an eye patch, stargazing and pirates was suggested this week by Paul Derrick. Having recently invested in some stargazing equipment myself, I was quite keen to see that now I have an excuse for wearing an eye patch at the office. Arrrgh!
