Hmmm, been playing with Astig on my NEC XG110, got the dots pretty round, not perfect but good enough for a first try.
One problem however, whilst looking at the astig screen (contrast set to max) I suddenly realised that none of my dots had a bright core, the outer edge of the dot is brighter than the inside! Thats not right is it - am I supposed to play with the 2 pole levers to get the bright spot (that appears when moving the dot grid around the screen with the levers) right in the middle of the dot?
If so, getting a round after getting the bright core centered is really difficult - I tried and failed a couple of times. (I can get everything back to the way it was easily enough having marked the plastic levers before hand - thanks John!).
I take it its a matter of practice getting it spot on.
Thanks,
Paul
[Edit - I took some pictures but the dots in the photos look solid which isn't what I'm seeing (which is more like a bright outer ring with a more faded inner core).
