Laptops, CCD'ing, & Star Parties
Put a sheet of red rubylith or a cut rectangle of #2423 red plexiglas ove the
screen. The plex can be held in place with strips of velcro. I will be at Stellafane this year. Come and see me and I may have an extra piece of plex for you.

I would think that "star party etiquette" would have to be that bright laptops are not acceptable. So: How does one use a laptop or other PC at a star party or popular observing site? Anybody have suggestions on how to cut the screen light down to levels acceptable for visual observers? Keep it under a box?
