I have inexpensive red gel that I got from Michael's that works fine
doubled over. I use it with the iPad, since even though SkySafari has a
night mode, I usually end up at some point with the home screen popping
back. It doesn't interfere with the touch screen...

It will be interesting to see how well this works. It'll be quite a
useful
tool if indeed it lives up to its promise. The only drawback will be
the
utter destruction of one's own night vision from the screen backlighting
while taking the iSQM reading. I hope it works well, and I hope to see
an
Android version in the future.
