I've processed a few of them to how I would would do my own just to give an idea where you can improve. Are you shooting in RAW or jpeg mode? RAW will let you get more from the image but even with a jpeg you can do some improvements to get better contrast. RAW will require more powerful software but there are some free ones around that are ok. For your other post about camera settings, I always shoot in full manual mode. The only setting that changes is the shutter speed and I set that based on the light meter in the viewfinder. Use centre weighted or spot metering so that the camera gets a better idea on what the scope is seeing.Paul.</blockquote>
