I've just downloaded BYE and it's asking me for a licence key, I take it this isn't free software???

Not all computer software is free. Sometimes software developers like to put food on the table.

Cheers frugal. I've bought it now I'm just waiting for the activation keys....

with my 50mm f1.8 II ef-s lens i tend to cheat. 

flick my lens to autofocus, wait for that big large moon to come round, then

calibrate the lens, get the camera to focus the moon, then shoot a shot.

review and zoom in. its its nice and sweet i turn off autofocus

and leave it alone.

i have a tiny mark on my 50mm stating perfect focus on the moon. so it makes it more easy to swing left or right to adjust a tiny touch.

just touching the focus ring can shift the lens enough i found.

i also noticed alot of new lens units none L , do not have windows built in.

but the older EF lens type does , the original 50mm had a focus window, but the new ones they removed them.

i also own a 90-300mm canon ef. that is a little more easy on focus at longer lengths ( must manual focus )

and is my fave for shooting the moon on the 350D

Well I've just been having a play on BYE and I'm a bit miffed as to what's going on really. I pressed 'Frame and Focus' and the live view popped up but it had changes all the setting on the camera to 'Bulb' and 'ISO 12800' and image to 'RAW' and I couldn't seem to change that.

Admittedly this is my first time using it so I haven't got the foggyist what's going on and I was trying out in the front room.

I must say the delay from using usb is rather annoying....

Why don't you just use the live view on your camera along with the x10 image magnification setting? It works for me every time, I have never worried about having to make focussing masks for camera lenses.
