Moved to 5 story senior housing constructed of steel and concrete. Use counter weights from telescopes to hold Wemacro w/camera and another one for holding specimens. All is on a ribbed rubber covered 3/4 inch particle board about 2 ft. square. Will provide photo later.

First attempt at stacking. Agree on attention to focus. The shock of viewing the amount of detail over came all else.
