To observe the starts in a highly light polluted environment here are a few tips you can follow:

1. Try and find high ground, as this can reduce the effects of light pollution. If you are in an urban area a rooftop of a building can improve your chances, although you should only do this if it is safe.

2. Try and use equipment such as binoculars or a telescope, as these can improve your odds of observing constellations, it may also help to use a stargazing app which can point out where to find these constellations.

3. Try observing the stars for upwards of 10-20 minutes. Often your eyes take a while to adjust to the level of light coming from the stars and after a while they will become more apparent.
