Hi Ken,
save your images in jpg for upload which will give you 24 bit depth (16 million colours). And resize like others have suggested to make the file smaller, and then play with the jpg quality setting to get under 200k limit of iceinspace. Your bmp file has 8 bit depth with a 256 colour palette. That is why the background looks like one colour. Because it is. I'm sure the original looks better than that. I have not used DSS, so I do not know which settings to use. Save your original images in the highest bit depth possible. With my 450D I download in RAW monochrome mode, because this is best when applying dark and bias frames to remove the camera noise, and I loose no data when manipulating the images in the highest quality possible.
Hey, looked it up on wikipedia and that matches the image there just rotated 180deg! Cool.
Mark.
