  There are several things which I have found help good pictures. The
first is a long exposure from a tripod to eliminate retrace showing up.
The second is to move the camera as far from the tube as you can and
stil frame it. I use a telephoto zoom. This helps overcome the curvature
of the screen. Best trick is a Zenith flat tension mask monitor, which
has a true flat surface.

  Oh, and a dark room is the easiest way to kill reflections I've found.
