ToUcam and Photoshop Version?

Hello all,

I would like to take pictures of the moon and planets with my Celestron C9.25 Schmitt-Cassegrain and, accordingly, I purchased a ToUcam Pro CCD webcam. From my readings it seems pretty clear that people routinely choose Adobve Photoshop in order to help process pictures. However when I took a look at the prices for Photoshop it was rather expensive. As such I was wondering if an older, thus less expensive, version of Photoshop could be used (the current verison appears to be 7.0)?

Thanks in advance!

Sam

While the newer version may be able to do more (more than most will ever dream of using) the older versions work just fine.
