Thanks, Darren!

Regarding the different approach - the most important thing was that I gave up on trying to micro manage the stacking process and doing it right n a single pass. For htis I took 5 passes at the subject, caturing 20-50 images per pass. I combined each pass into an intermediary image and then combined those 5 images into the final product. Up till now I have been trying to do it all in one pass, often trying for 100+ exposures but that seemed to result in lost of redundant images and still gaps / banding where I would move the camera a little too far. Its easier and (at least in this case) more effective to just do the multiple runs. It seems totally obvious now, but getting into this I was of a mindset that tightly controlling it all was really important when what is actually important is to oversample the heck out of the subject and let the stacking software sort it out.

So are you going to share the "somewhat different approach" or just
tease us with it?

Took a somewhat different approach with this one and it seems to have worked
out OK. Or maybe the subject is just very photogenic. Be sure to check out
the lager view for all the detail. Comments welcome!
