Wayne, I'll try the Bahtinov mask and see whether there is any finer focusing. Many Thanks for the tip!
Al, yes the photos were reduced in size. The Raw from a 40D is about 10MB. I try the star method occassionally but what I notice is that in liveview the image seems really sharp and when you take the shot and review on the LCD again, it seems much softer. I think this may be more of an illusion in that in liveview you are looking effectively at a live video and your eyes may perceive it clearer - either that or I'm getting old!! Anyway many thanks for your guidance.
Thanks for your kind comments and nice to see that you guys see them as focussed well.
I just get blown away with the quality of the shots posted in the deep space section & solar system section and so I'm taking my steps one by one in the hope one day I can get even 1/4 of the way to these masterpieces :-)
