True. It's nice to have a hobby that will likely keep me busy for at
least _some_ time... :-)

The 'White Point' seems to be important, Ed wrote me a similar mail,
he suggested 0.001% (One quick test yesterday was far better than the
grainy, partly over-exposed scans I did before). It was probably the
only setting I had not yet tried.
As Lynn pointed out, I did not really describe my problem, so here it
comes: Scans from astronomical pictures on Kodak Royal 1000 or Kodak
Elite Chrome 200 turn out to be heavily over-exposed, even when I set
white balance to 'neutral' or 'none' and fiddle with the exposure
time. All this is using a ScanWit 2720S and VueScan7.1.3 (I just
downloaded the 7.1.7).
