Default 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.

Last year at Stellafane a friend & I found that our CCD'ing laptop was
annoying nearby visual observers. 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?
