Hi Dennis, I'd be interested to know how/if your dark adaption was affected tho. Just curious!
Mike, You were right about the screen GLOW. The 'Darkadapted' prog. is not as good as first thought. Your idea of a red perspex/lexan screen would seem the better option. Can you get it moulded to shape,( or plastic welded), to fit around the edge & top of the screen? (sort of slide on). I had the opportunity on Sat. night, when Neil set up his LX90 + laptop. The glow was terrible. He tried both of his 'red' screen progs., but neither killed the glow enough.
I suppose if you're just imaging all night, then it's O.K., but for those around you!!! Go to the northern end of the carpark please. Just kidding.
