    Couldn't resist :rotfl: research ;)

    No-go I'm afraid Sal :(

    Put £5 on my Christmas Saver, £3.83 worth of shopping. handed over £4.79 of APG's (£2.25, 41p and £2.13).

    Till automatically voided 2 of the apg's and adjusted them to £1.58 - leaving exactly £5 to pay.

    As we thought, can't transfer apg's to card.

    Only reason I can think of for yours working is the m/buy?

    My iron does not seem to be working, fancy popping round and checking why it does not work? Perhaps practice a little with it, incase it is intermittent. ;)

    Well knowledge tells me ISO is in the thousands, shutter speed is less than 30 secs, fairly wide angle and a wide open aperture. 1 image with the idea to get as much light in as possible in the shortest amount of time, biggest clue being no movement in the stars :D

    I've done star trails before but never a starscape. Seems to be popular now for photographers to actually put themself in the frame to give a sense a scale, wonder and awe.

    Your reason for editing intrigues me :rotfl:
