While Morgestraich is the best way to see the Lanterns and their comic lampoonery lit up - the best way to appreciate some of the details you missed in the wee-hours of the morning is to visit Münsterplatz on the Tuesday - the second day of Fasnacht. All the lanterns are gathered together in one place for the whole day - so you can appreciate the lanterns both by daylight and night.
Naturally enough, it's one of the more popular set-piece events as you get to take your time to look at whichever lantern so takes your fancy. And ponder the ludicrosity of the news being depicted.
