I use a sheet of red acetate sheet so that slips between the LCD and the screen bezel and set Stellarium to night mode. I was also running the netbook on its battery,so the screen was a little dimmer anyway. While I think there was some loss of night vision (I could barely make out 5th magnitude stars unaided) I could have turned down the screen even further.
