Imagers must not inconvenience others with un-shielded lights when doing flats.
Observation people should not park next to imaging people as they tend to leave early and thus disrupt imaging sessions.
If you intend to leave early (especially before midnight), park closer to the entrance gate so as not to disturb others who stay later.
