My first attempt at focus stacking. Vanadinite on matrix (files.catbox.moe)

This was mainly a test of the software for me, but the result came out so much better than I expected. Raw editing in darktable and focused stacked using ChimpStackr, two amazing foss pieces of software.

Thank you!

Not that I've seriously done stacking, but one thing that might help (based on long exposure experiments instead) is a shutter release cable, assuming your camera has a socket for such. It can reduce the vibration from manually pressing the actual shutter button, and may save the first few shots of your sequence. If your camera is wi-fi connected, you may have an app to do the same.

I took them using remote shutter through WiFi+phone app. The tripod comment was more to be able to frame and get better angles.

Good, that will do it.
