    Can auto loading of Lightroom be turned off?

    Every time I connect a cardreader or memory stick with images on Lightroom 1.4 automatically loads. Often I just want to look at the JPEGS on them. Is there any way to stop going through Lightroom loading to edit the photos?

    Canon D20a

    As a person both interested in bird photography and astronomy I was interested to come across a reference recently to a Canon D20a. This is a D20 modified for astrophotography. Has anyone used this model? I've not seen any references to it in the photography stores advertising in the UK.
