Just tried opening the image and i cant open it.

I took the image using a Celestron 114LCM, and the Neximage with a focal reducer. Only had about 30 secs before the cloud closed in. Am at work at the moment but have written down the settings i took the image with. As i said it was the first light for the camera and wasn't given enough time to play...dohhhhhh.

Thanks for input though, keep it coming, learning is the way forward!!
