I've tried it a few times but seeing never was up to it here. When
seeing is good I have other targets that I seem to go to instead.

What is the bit depth of the XTi?

Processing some objects can be a challenge. I have more trouble with
faint ones going flat on me if I try to push too far into the faint
region. I can do it but it takes time to find the right curves to use.
