Gord,

 

I assume that you are talking about the Zoom Box and the Crosshair that overlay the image area in Frame & Focus. I also imagine that you are in Night Vision mode because that forces the color scheme to red on black regardless of what color is chosen in the settings. Is that correct?

 

Does turning off night mode help?

I too would appreciate a "limited" choice of Crosshair and Framing Box Reticule Colors.

 

I will NOT give up BOTH the Night-mode and my Rubylith Sheets.  But sometimes I feel the need to change to Daytime-mode in order to find the Reticule against the Image.

 

When I Image in a Group Setting, I don't wish to be the Brightest Screen.  When I Image alone, I need the true Dark Adaption in order to watch for Snakes or Javelinas.

Jim,

 

Arizona is big on people being able to keep chickens. I am not sure why, since I have only lived here a couple of years, but it is pretty common. However it came back to bite one of our club members. One day he was out at his big Dob, at 3 AM, cleaning chicken poop of his primary mirror.  He is not an imager, so BYE's night mode was not an issue, but it does show we need to protect ourselves and our equipment from the local fauna. I would add scorpions, tarantulas, coyotes, roadrunners, bobcats, and mountain lions to s3igell's list.

 

Of all the animals listed, the only animal that I haven't seen in the wild since I move here is a bobcat. I saw the mountain lion while hiking in some nearby mountains. It crossed the trail about 100 yards ahead of where I was hiking.

 

Who knew that astronomy was such a risky hobby!
