Hi all,
am trying astrophotography with a pentax 430rs camera behind the eyepiece of a pentax pf 80 spotting scope. when focusing on the moon when it is full the image on the lcd display is too bright to see any markings on the moon to focus on.
can i change the brightness of the lcd display somehow in the camera?
Thanks for your help.

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!
