clean up

Rick,

two images

Rik,

Sorry about the two images. The site was fighting me in uploading the images. I think you may have to review the images before they are posted. If you wish you may delete one or I will if I can find out how.

Regards,

Larry

Hi Ray, I'm looking forward to learning from this experience. Yes, I use Live View when I set the beginning and ending spots of the series. I find it quite helpful for that use. I seem to have the impresson that it is best to turn it off before I run the stack. I've been using Mirror Lock to give th...

Sharpness

I am using a Canon 40D, a Pentax 200mm f/4, and either a Nikon 10x or a Mitatoya 20x, and a Stackshot. I am a beginner with high ideals. I am disatisfied with the sharpness of my image stacks. I have checked: #1 The camera and 200mm, I can get sharp images with them. http://www.photomacrography.net/...
