I also note most are using an EQ6, whereas I am on a CGE.

I didn't mean to make it sound intimidating Gary. I've just got used to jumping in the deep end with most software, but in this case it is worth reading the instructions on what files you need and where before firing it up. I found it a bit confusing too that I could easily get it solving on the trial database and image supplied but not on my files. That was only because I didn't download everything required properly.
For those serious, I'd strongly recommend joining the Yahoo group, going to the Files section, and looking at the bottom 3 or 4 sections - Help files, tutorials, etc. There is an english installation guide that is very clear and specific (if you looked for it and read it in the first place...
)
I'd 2nd Terry again - very useful if you setup lends itself to computer solving and guiding. I always thought with my scope driven by a laptop through ASCOM (EQMOD) it surely must be possible for it to figure out where it is in the sky from an image - and sure enough someone has done this for free.
