As a matter of interest. Do you have a Stellarium version that works on the Ipad and if so how does the night vision button work.

Sure Barry - see attached two iPad night vision examples.

First is StellariumXL, which you can see still suffers in a couple of areas. The standard status bar at the top of the display is not replaced or overdrawn with the Stellarium app - leaving bright white text signal strength, carrier, time and battery life indicators blinding you. Secondly, the nav bars still are rendered as standard graduations - from black to white. Thirdly, the red isn't deep enough - it's still too bright. Lastly, and with probably the biggest problem - the setup dialogue is a brilliant white. Blown away in the night vision department It's great during the day though! A bit more development and these issues will be done with.

The difference can be seen with Sky Safari running - second photo. Every screen you can get to is this beautiful dark red.
