Hi Clive, Don't get to frustrated yet, I'm one to speek of that. The camera is OK. I have had mine for about a month now and as the others have said, the data is there. It's just a matter of manipulating it better. I have certainly found it to be a huge step up from the DSLR. I have been on the verge of giving up on several occasions, but with a little help I think you and I might just make it and produce some reasonable images.
Take a look at this link, Theo sent it to me about processing CCD images and try to work through some of the process. Don't rush it. I am just starting to get images which are respectable, and they are in fact images that I really thought were rubish.

Be calm , don't loose the plot like I did.
Remember the camera is cooled so longer and more imaages gives worlds better images.
Good luck mate.
