Hi Brendan,
thanks for the ´balance´ add to the shot- looks great and you seem to got more detail out of it. I wonder how you manage to get that? especially out of a 55kb JPG
???
Yes, I installed it all on my PC and Picasa i.e. can open the .CR2 shots but not Photoshop CS2. DSS can open them but I have to choose the 400D from the menu as there is no 450D. But the sendor of the 400 is smaller and I assume it has some more differences that in effect reduce the quality of my shots.
PS: pls don´t bother about the M42 any more, it was actually a miss shot that I posted for demo of difference: I accidentially gave my eq6 the wrong time on setup and when I had slewed to the horsehead, through the finder I saw some nebulosity, centred it and took a test exposure that lasted the time I needed to go back in and get a new beer
When I was back I noticed that the nebulosity actually was M42...
Cheers
