[AZ-Observing] Re: Laptop screens

I got a sheet of a dark red acrylic (9" x 12" x 3 mm thick) from Century 
Plastics in Phoenix for $5. They are located off 16 St, south of I-10 
(around the Salt River bed).
If your astro software does have a red display mode, ensure that makes 
all components red. Some leave certain screen elements unchanged.
Depending on the quarry, I sometimes find that even with a red-filtered 
and manually dimmed display the screen is still just too bright. Of 
course YMMV.

Does anyone know of a local place (preferably east valley) that makes red 
acrylic laptop screens?  The only other one I've found is on-line from Ideal 
Astronomy - it's a reasonable price, but I've never known anyone with that 
brand, so I don't know if it's dark enough.  My laptop does have a brightness 
adjustment.
