This is my favourite but they all look great. Are the most recent images done with stacking? The sharpness and depth has improved a lot. So there are 2 types of stacking when I say "stacking " The first is using a program like sharpcap to stack frames to get a noise free image. Do this for all points of focus. The second stacking is importing the different focal point images into photoshop and stacking them to make an image of different focus points I learnt something new ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I think we were doing the latter by taking a heap of photos of the same thing with the focus slightly changed, then the photos were stacked using clunky software that came with the microscope camera. Do you use a remote or timer to take the photos so you don't move the camera?

oooohh boy. Good question So the camera I use is this: player-one-astronomy.com/product/uranus-c-usb3-0-color-camera-imx585/although you can use any camera. Its high framerate and very very low noise I use it to do my planetary photography, but it can double as a camera to do high speed imaging. Even though the target is fixed I find it very nice because of low light sensitivity. So the speed of the lens becomes a non issue. Sharpcap is very sexy and versatile for livestacking because its primary purpose was taking camera input and stacking live astronomy images. My setup looks like this: camera and lens on a tripod...which is hooked up to my Laptop and i control the camera from there. I manually set each focus point
