It is really nice the way they make everything black these days. It certainly stops reflected light. Unfortunately when I get out under a fairly dark sky I have trouble finding focusing knobs, and buttons on my Sky Commander and on and on. I finally found a solution I like. They are self-adhesive (peel-off backing) and are made for indoor or outdoor use. It can adhere to almost any clean surface (best to wipe with alcohol before sticking to remove old fingerprints.). The maker says they will glow for 10 hours by exposing them to light for 5 minutes. Easily cut by scissors to the size and shape you need, and the backing is easy to remove to expose adhesive.

A 4"x4" sheet cost $2.00 (includes US shipping).
A 8"x12" sheet costs $11.00 (includes US shipping)
Larger sizes are available by request.

I cut small circles or squares of it to stick on the buttons of my SkyCommander, put on the end of my SCT focusing knob and any other place I find myself fumbling for in the dark. I am finding lots of usage on my scopes, and in my storage area to light areas where I set things down.

Glow Rope
	This thin (1/16"), strong rope originally made for spelunkers (cave explorers) glows softly in the dark after being exposed to light. I tie little pieces to my electrical cables attached to my scope so I can see them in the dark, and not trip over them. This is available for $0.75/lineal foot which includes US shipping when over 4 feet are ordered (minimum order). When you add this item to your cart, just select the number of 'Units' ie feet you want. (If you want 5 feet, order 5 of them). This does not glow as brightly or as long as the glow sheet above. It will go several hours if you illuminate it for several minutes.
