Thanks Collin
That's pretty much what I suspected I would have to do.
I was hoping to find some way of having the basic text already there e.g. object, distance,size field of view, exposure lrgb, scope, filters etc and then filling it in. There are various functions and smart objects in photoshop but I felt sure there was some astrophotography software that did all that for you but can't find it yet.
Cheers
Stephen

Open the image in Photoshop CS5 and duplicate the layer.
Next select Image....Canvas size, and increase the width and height to the size you want. Select the border colour from Select Extension Color in the Canvas Size dialog box. Click Ok when done.
Next select the text tool and type what you desire in the border you just created.
You will notice that several new layers have been created in this process so you need to flatten the image, save and your done.

Hope it helps.
