I struggle a lot with this too, and I am not really happy with the vast
majority of the pictures on my website. Jonathan seems to have found a
good way. Perhaps it is also possible to enhance the quality by some
light post-production. Jens

One observation: The LC-7 looks like it doesn't have mercury.
Taking photos of Nixie tubes can be a trial. Experimentation and taking lots of
photos is the key. If you can't manually control the exposure, you can achieve
a similar effect by varying the lighting. Try lighting the back ground. Try
lighting the tube. Try different brightnesses. Try different angles. Using a
bright light can force the camera to stop down which can increase your depth of
field - this will bring more of the elements into focus. If you want to lessen
the grid, you will want less depth of field so that only the illuminated
element is in focus.
Obviously a camera that allows you to use manual settings for exposure and
aperture will allow you to experiment more.
And a tripod makes a world of difference!
Of course the photos you posted were just fine :)
Have fun :)
