Hi Steve

The ND stuff that I used was NDx3. I still had the “red night vision” mode of The Sky turned on and the NDx3 just toned down the light sufficiently not to get me ejected from the paddock.

However, the NDx3 does make it difficult to see fine detail such as in critical focusing if you are doing this by eye. For simple operations such as setting the exposure, browsing the file structure and e.g. creating a new folder I found that the NDx3 was okay.

But, if you are going to be reading charts, etc, then maybe NDx2 would be the way to go?

Some Notebooks also have the capability to dim the display, so maybe NDx2 and adjusting the display may be the best combo?

The only reason I used ND rather than Red is that some software had red text on a white background which was impossible to read through the Red filter.

Cheers

Dennis
