How do I email a specific area of the night sky?

The control-S keyboard shortcut takes a screenshot and saves it. The location it is saved depends on your operating system. You can see (and choose) where screenshots are saved by looking in the config window (F2) / tools tab. Note that the default location might not be writable (I think on Windows & and Vista the desktop is the default and may not be writable depending on your system settings). If this is the case you should change the save folder to a suitable one.

Once you have a screenshot saved, attach it to your email as you would any other file.

Thank you Matthew -- You were `spot on.` The only problem now is that when I hit the `browse` button to change the default directory; the new dialogue box just flashes onto the screen for a second -- so I do not get the chance to change the default directory [You were correct in saying that it was the desktop].
I shall keep trying and re-read the settings.

Thank You Matthew -- it worked. I fail to understand how you can `think` in the manner you do. Perhaps one day I shall not need to bother anyone.

Grateful Thanks
