Of the three power settings( selected by pushing the power button sequentially) i think the high power gives the best flat even illumination, low is just too low imho. I need to do some testing through the scope and camera, but first will have to find a way to hang it up on the wall of the observatory in a spot where i can easily aim the scope at it. The paper work that came with it describe it as a green led source, but certainly seems white to me. I can detect no green light emitted from the edges.
Thanks Glen, I appreciate the feedback. I have a small LED panel sitting somewhere which I once purchased to view 35mm colour negatives – must dig it up and see if I can use that.

Cheers

Dennis
