[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 242181, member: 10784"] Ok folks... here is an update.. A discussion came up on another thread regarding tables and focus stacking... wireless or otherwise. That brought me back to DSLRDashboard which in conjunction with the WU-1A had a focus stock option. I knew the tablet would not run it to test but my cell phone would.. So I set up a quick test... keep in mind I have no instructions so just guessed.... Here is the setup... just put the camera and the Spyder Lenscal on the table... Also a screen shot of part of the stacking screen.. I used 10 and 25 (no clue what I should have used..) It also has a setting for "direction"... again, no directions, as you will see, I focused FIRST and then it went from there to closest.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]65463._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]65464._xfImport[/ATTACH] It took all 10 shots and adjusted the focus point on its own... I did NOTHING! It adjusted the focus point on its own... ( would need to learn the units and meaning of Focus Step if I was going to use it) Once you have the images, you need to STACK them.. preferred in PS but my old CS2 would not do it so I located a free stacker called CombineZP. I loaded the images in, selected stack & GO, then saved the Output file. Here are the shots - 1st is a test shot focused at the center... 2nd is the output from the stacking [ATTACH=CONFIG]65462._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]65465._xfImport[/ATTACH] Folks, it works!! It is also simple, no manual focus or anything else... just set the software and say go! I will likely try this next week with a Macro lens and see how it performs.
