Thanks Robert. I learned a new info thanks to you

Yousef, you are stuggling along with 8GB of RAM?? Ram is cheap, man! Anyone who has seen your images knows that some of them are priceless. Are we missing out on seeing more of your work, for want of a little RAM? Oh, the loss to humanity! :D Well, the cost wasn't the issue here. Actually, I happen...

Hi Dave, Maybe a better question for me to have asked would have been do I have enough computer to handle 36MP files stacked, or stitched panoramas Very good question.. based on your desktop specs, I believe you're on the safe side for such kinds of operations & processing..

Although I do own Mitu5X, I keep prefering the JML over.. well I believe both have advantages & disadvantages after all. As for the weevil shot, I di...

Thank you guys for your inputs & cheerful words. @Pau During my visit to Spain, Javier (Seta666) told me how palms were effected by this pest.

Very interesting result Fred.. I couldn't figure out what was it till I read it

Hi, I haven't done any serious stacking for the past 7 months & just recently I managed to receive an interesting subject -at least to me?- which just pushed me to get back again. I managed to do few stacking for most of this weevil parts.. unfortunately, haven't got enough time to process with the ...

Hi Miljenko, This looks like a well build setup.. I do like how portable it is due to its size. I just have two concerns & both are related with your Sigma 150mm mount.. - Is the system well balanced while the rail is fully extended?
