too bright ccd display

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Anton, you might want to try using a polarizer filter when viewing/shooting those bright objects, specially The Moon...

I checked the whole User Manual for your camera, and they have no mention of a way to adjust the brightness of your camera's LCD screen, so as many, it might be set to a default, and seems there's no way to change it.

If this IS the case, and your camera is not adjustable on the LCD screen, then the filter might be your solution, and they are not expensive at all...


Clear skies!

Happy day the EP arrived!

Floyd, let us know what you think of it!
I'm thinking seriously of getting a Wide FOV eyepiece in the 12-14mm range, would love either a Nagler 12 type 4, or a Meade 14mm UWA...


Clear skies, and enjoy your new eyepiece!

too bright lcd display

Hello Anton!
I checked the User's Manual for your Camera, and they have no mention on HOW to adjust the brightness of your LCD Display, so it is most likely set to a default, and it cannot be changed. (as most Digital cameras)
I would recommend you using a Polarizing Filter or just a Moon Filter, which will reduce greatly the brightness of the objects you'll be looking/shooting at, specially The Moon... (they are not expensive at all)




Clear dark cool skies!
