Still the best way not to be seen is to have the observer look in another
direction.
Send one or two watchers on the other side of the area you want to inspect
astrally, and have them make noise there (attacking spirit or a ward). About
30 seconds later send a 2nd team of watchers to a different place, doing the
same.
Even if the corp's magicians were clever and didn't dispatch the whole astral
army on the first "attack", odds are good they send the reinforcements to the
second place. Goody.

There's a problem with this approach, of course. For a while (a few hours, or
some days) securty will be up because of this double- (triple-) intrusion. So,
if you plan to enter the area sometime soon, better find another way.
