 Yes. navigate to the page which contains the image you want and
 Ctrl drag it from the page to the filer.

So it does - this is brilliant :-))

 A slightly more long-winded way is to click menu over the image on
 the page then follow Object  Object  Save  and save it!

  If I had the programming skills I would write a routine to this
  automatically.

 Someone already has!

  *Incidentally what a superb site.

 Indeed. Setting up Organizer to open APOD is great too:

 Create a task alarm with 

 URIdispatch http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/

 in the Message section.

I'll investigate - thanks again for your quick response Tim.

Ctrl+Select dragging saves it in original format (JPEG in this case).

Ctrl+Adjust dragging automatically converts it to Sprite format, which may
be more use if you're using the image as a backdrop (since sprites redraw
faster).
