Tom,
I have one. it has two brighness settings and the lower one I find not too
obtrusive whn OVER the paper. I priomarily useit for sketching at the Eyepiece.
What I Do is place it UNDER the Drawing sheet and again at the lowest setting
it illuminated the page just enough that I can see what I'm drawing without
killing night vision.
I don't really use it much other than that although it certainly is better than
most redlights that you see at regualr starparties.
I'm happy with it. Got mine two years ago from Sky Publishing at half price
($25.00) I think it was a clearance as they don't carry it anymore.
I'll bring it to the meeting Friday and you can check it out
Rick
