Thanks jeanette,
I have been a bit busy to check up on this post. Thanksyou for that detailed response...I have taken note! and stored it in My Docs".
I did have a play the other night, but only got a few stars to show. I think I need to go out of town to get a better shot...Basically when you view the pic in a windowed mode, it's all black, however when I put it on my desktop, I can apreciate the patteren of stars and was actaully happy...just not many stars.
My wife thinks I am crazy...but I have to start somewhere. I tried to explain about the light pollution, but when the my other kids look at my desktop and see it mostly black with a few specs of light on it, they also laugh at me. LOL I don't blame them...but I will show them some day, when I have a real camera and telescope.
Here....I may as well give you a laugh too...I'll upload it so you can see it too...
