I understand Allan, after the exposure I need to get under the mount to check the image on the rear screen or do you mean to download the image to the laptop and see it there?
Kevin - that's pretty impressive manipulation. I'm afraid I don't know anything about how to use Photoshop it - I don't own a copy in any case. I do have Gimp 2 which is supposed to be a PS-like free alternative, but I haven't done any real reading about it's capabilities. I guess I will just have to be more patient and collect more data. I know patience is a virtue, and one that I need to work on haha.
The air has been real smokey here in the last few days, but I'd rather practice imaging under less than ideal conditions than those endless knights of cloud. I go back to work on Thursday (blah), so I should make hay while the stars shine
