Thanks, Will, for your post.
However, I don't have W.M.M. on my computer & ,looking at the free downloads for same, I'm not that confident, either in their safety or my I.T. skills, to proceed!
And as this is a rare circumstance, the answer for my friend will be, I think, to open his laptop like a book on-end, to save any damage to his neck!!
Thanks all,
Roger.

Oh no!
Boy, is his neck going to be sore!!!
Best just do a printed card, eh?
Thanks for the bad news, Steve & Gwyn.
Is this such an unusual scenario, or can video only be shot "landscape", effectively?!

Help. please!
(Unusually) I took a short video today, to send as a "get well soon" greeting to a dear friend. I shot it "portrait".I can't see a way to rotate it on my screen, it is "landscape"!
I don't want to add to his troubles by having to make him view it sideways!!!
How to rotate video, please.
In PSE9?
In Windows 7, media player?
Thanks,
Coker.

Thanks Will.
Yes, I used a tripod(!)
I was after, as near as I could, points of light as opposed to trails.
Would lowering the ISO not have increased the exposure time?
The stars are already just beginning to trail anyway, @ 15secs.
Keeping the exposure time down, with lowISO, would also have meant recording only the brighter stars & I was keen to record as many as poss.
Does all this make any sense?

Thanks, Ted.
The Plough wasn't cropped at all.
Orion is about 25% of the original size.
I did set the lens to 18mm when I started & that's what the exif states.
But I've looked & it's set @ about 30.....?
Can you tell from the images what's what, or is the exif always right?

While we're on the subject...
If one were to become seriously interested in photographing birds, what is considered to be the case of long lens, Bigma for example, versus a Pentax scope + a Pentax eyepiece/adaptor (= about £700!) to enable the use of a DSLR.(My K7, say.......)

Once I've tended the garden...
Dug the weeds...
It may be a bit too dear...
But Life is Good.
Thanks all, here's to the next....

Enter no.4 in the Weekly Comp., This Is Me!
Your reflection must be in there somewhere!
Great shot / crop(?)
