In order for best viewing, the room must be very dark. Consider planning ahead for a windowless space or temporarily hanging a dark fabric over any windows.
Kits will also come with a small attachment called a "Night Dome" that can be used for viewing in smaller spaces, such as a dark tent or makeshift table fort.
