Film Astrophotography Questions

Can anyone recommend a photo lab that handles astro-photos?

Also can anyone recommend suitable scanner software for scanning negs? I have an old Epson 1250 Photo which does it but the software is a dog to use - very unreliable since I've been on XP (and all the patches available so far can't fix it).

I finished my first film of purely astro photos just recently. Got the film processed OK locally and I have reasonable access to the lab (I can stand beside the person doing the processing/printing and tell them what I want) but these new fangled machine thingies just don't want to see some of the lighter exposures. I've been able to scan a few that were too light for the machine but even my scanner software tries to tell me there's nothing there in manual mode... I can see it! I just want to see it better so I can learn to improve...

Thanks,

Al.
