Andrew - I had just re-built my PC and hadn’t loaded all my apps, so all the processing was done in Registax. I fiddled with the Histogram, Gamma and Contrast/Brightness. I then converted the final bmp to a jpg on my Notebook using CorelPaint 12 with no further processing.
Beren – Yes, I subsequently read in the ToUcam YahooGroup not to do this! Someone recommended leaving the Brightness and Gamma sliders as is (central) and increasing the Gain to bump up the brightness, something I will try the next time.
Matt – Although I used K3CCDTools for the capture and it invoked the two screens, the same screen can also be captured from within the Philips ToUcam native software. The link to K3CCDTools is here
http://www.pk3.org/Astro/?software.htm and it’s not free. Cost approx US$49 for Version 3. I’m still on V2.
Cheers
