(meteorobs) Techniques for High, Bright Moon Observing

[Leo S]

I once used an old music-notation stand to block out the moon. Worked 
pretty well, and better than using my outstretched hand. Wish I'd 
remembered to bring it last night! Something like a bamboo cane with a 
paper plate would be just as effective I'm sure, although you could have 
problems if it's windy.

Block the moon at all cost and limit amount of sky being watched or kind of look away and ignore the moonlight, keeping the radiant on the edge of FOV?  I tried holding a cap up for a while to block just the area needed to avoid the moon, but my arm got tired quickly.  I am thinking maybe mounting a paper plate on a stick or something of the sort.  Any favorite methods you might share?
