too bright ccd display

Posted By anton jopko
I have just started trying astrophotography with my pentax 430RS camera behind the eyepiece of my pentax pf 80 ed spotting scope. when looking at a bright object such as the full moon with the scope and camera, the back of the camera display is so bright i can't see anything to focus on the moon. Does anyone know how to reduce the brightness on the camera display?
( i am sure you can see a newbie from a long way off!)

LCD focus

Dear All,
Sorry if this is a silly question but can I assume the focus on my LCD screen of a digital camera is the same as what would appear from the CCD chip?
Thanks

Dear Jose,
Terrific shot! You state an EV of -1. My camera has this setting for EV but I have no idea why you should change it from positive to negative etc. Could you please give me a short tutorial on using the EV setting.
Thanks
