You dont need Word or anything else to view it. It loads up with internet explorer, or save it to your desktop for future reference.
Its not perfect, but i did sort of rush it out..

Thanks Theo, the guide is helpful for getting CCDCap up and running.
I used the QHY8 with Nebulosity last night and got some results. Colours seem true when Nebulosty is set to save fits in MaximDL format. Raw Fits files are about 36MB.
I'll try CCDCap tonight. Sequence capture progress report is better in Nebulosity than in CCDCap. CCDCap looks to have a better histogram display.
They both have a pretty good focus control. Bias Test captures with CCDCap provide a 12MB Fits file even with 1x1 binning not sure why yet.

Cheers,

Rob
