Apertura Astro Vision Red LED Flashlight
Smart Stargazing Starts with Red Light!
The Apertura Astro Vision Red LED Flashlight keeps your eyes dark-adapted! Don't ruin that dark adaptation by turning on a white flashlight to find an accessory or read a star chart. When you use the Apertura Red Flashlight instead, your eyes will not react nearly as much as they do with white light, and they will stay dark-adapted!
Amateur astronomers go to a lot of trouble keeping their skies as dark as possible from turning off porch lights, to driving out of the city in search of pristinely dark skies. It takes about 30 minutes for your eyes to truly adapt to the dark, and once that happens, you will see much fainter deep-sky objects. Think about how much easier it is to see objects in your bedroom once the lights are off, your eyes gradually adjust to the darkness, and everything starts to come into view more clearly. The same principle applies to stargazing. Avoiding white light helps your eyes fully adapt to the dark, allowing you to see more stars, galaxies, and nebulae!

length, to fit easily in most astronomy accessory cases, your glove
compartment, backpack, computer bag or purse!
