I dont mind Steve,i should have my copy of photoshop shortly so i can edit my pictures then.

[stevetynant]

Just increasing the light saturation can be done in most photo editting software Matt - I think I did this in Picassa which is freeware from Google - I'd be amazed if the software that came with your camera wouldn't do it either. Sometimes what you have to watch for is that when you do this is it increases the noise (pixellation) in the shot - then you can use something like Neat Image or Noise Ninja which are also free plug ins to reduce it.

You'll have a lot of fun with photoshop though - lots of learning required but heaps of fun aswel

cheers

Sunset and the Beacons.

The King is as big as the transmitters.

It was suprisingly chilly Steve,fair play to Stu he stuck it out but i have a sneaky feeling he might have been a little cold:).Cracking photos gents.It is a bit weird observing off steps ( especially when your changing a £500 eyepiece ).

[stevetynant]

they are some cracking photos- really enjoyed them - hoping I can make the next one- I've changed my mind on putting the scope away - just got to stay up a bit later lol
