Yes Nigella, so I guess you will be keeping your new-secretary very busy in the future - as and when ??

Will look forward to seeing your artwork on the BAA site.

I have started processing today's captures - which are many in three-lights, so will be posting them in three separate-posts. (Oh dear whatever next)...

Cheers

Nigella,
The contrast on that first full disc screenshot is impressive. I never can get mine to look like that!

Maybe I need to try Firecapture as well.
