Re: [NTLK] Red Backlights for Astronomy

Adam,

You are correct, there have been quite a few request, but I am not aware of
a supply as of yet. But maybe if demand grows enough we can get one of the
suppliers to create some.

This would be really cool for star gazing with the kids, GPS'n at night or
matching my future BMW's interior...
