It is too bright, but if one leaves both eyes open, the eye looking 
around, not through the dot, still sees the star and is ok.  It looks 
like I have a use for a couple of used batteries.  It uses those 
quarter sized batteries.  Maybe there is one of that size which has 
less voltage.  It is possible to make a resistor of paper and pencil 
carbon to put on top of the battery. I did that with the light in the 
polar scope of the Meade.  It was much too bright.
    Viewing is quite good.  The Virgo complex is quite clear tonight. 
I am using a 32MM with a 2 1/2 Barlow (94X) and on several sweeps I 
have had 3 nebulae in the field at once.  I am going to calibrate the 
true field of this setup now with Regulus.     jlrc
