Wow. Nice work. Incredibly detailed. That must have taken a long time and really taxed your computer. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks.
Not so long. 5 Seconds each shot of 9 x 16, refocus one "step", Import to NX Studio took some minutes, merge the 9 images also a view minutes, export to jpg, scale in PS, all done on the smallest actual MacBook Air (M3, 8GB) connected a SAMSUNG SSD T5 Evo (wich is really fast).
