How to Make Your Screens Red for Astrophotography

In this video, we go over how to make your screens red for astrophotography. With the way our hobby is, it is inevitable that you need some kind of screen to control your setup. We go over how to get your setup red so you can be polite to your neighbor at a star party.
I also am testing no music in this one, let me know what you think!

This is great, this is the information that most guys assume everyone knows and I don’t so thanks. Great video.

[@AstroEscape]

You're welcome Woody!

I knew a video like this was inevitable :) I just picked up a new MacBook Pro. they say the screen gets a lot darker so this should be nice for night work.

[@AstroEscape]

That should be nice. Bummer about Mac is that you can't customize it as much as Windows but you can still tweak it to get pretty dim.

When we have star parties, we have a hard rule that people can only use red light and no other lights are allowed and it works always !!

[@PafMedic]

Same With Ours,If A Friend And I Want To Image,We Have The Combination To Get In The Gate,and The Bathroom😂😂😂At Least They Love Us,lol

[@tarunpulikanti]

@@PafMedic I started using Occlus VR headset so that i do not disturb any one

[@AstroEscape]

That's an interesting idea!

[@AstroEscape]

So does my club, but people new to the hobby might not be aware of these settings, which is why I made this one :D

[@tarunpulikanti]

@@AstroEscape may be you can try it out as the phone can be connected to the VR headset and asiair can be used 😜

My Canon EOS SL1 has a red menu option. I assume the SL2, and now SL3 do as well. This has worked great for my Astro photography at Headlands DSP. Disappointed to find out my new Canon 5D Mark IV Does not 😢. Now looking for a static film to fit the LCD.

THANKS for no music!

[@AstroEscape]

You're welcome!
