Hi Duncan! Have you tried the image capture program that comes with the camera, CCDCap, just for s**ts and giggles? Just to see what you can get. MaxIm doesn't present your image as it actually looks. Can you check the image in Photoshop as a fits using fits liberator, just to see what it looks like in there?
I really feel for you
, it is a great camera and you should be getting some cool pics. What about just trying some of the easy, boring regular objects to get to know how the camera works? Also, some aren't gonna like this, however, I would go over to Nebulosity, it is a lot easier. If you want to, PM me, and I'll give you my home number and see if I can help a bit while your in front of your PC.
