Hey Spike thanks for the tip, I did check it at the beginning of the month when I got back out but I am not any kind of expert so I will get a capture and send it to you and see what you think, Thanks Brother, I appreciate your help.

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate your encouragement, it means a lot to me. After trying all kinds of capture software, SharpCap seems to be the best and I think that also has something to do with it, the fellow that designed the freeware designed it just for the SPC900NC. It has great controls and you can adjust while shooting. My big challenge is focus which I continue to work on, I am planning on getting a feather touch soon. I know I can get better clarity because I have seen other shots taken with the same equipment. Thanks again.
