Thanks David! Yes, I've seen the focus-stacked examples (by Brian Valentine / LordV), but I haven't tried that approach yet. I didn't have much time for these, so I just did a quick hand-held job.

Thanks Rob! Glad you like them. Getting an M42 refraction would be a serious challenge! It would be interesting to try something like Crux though...
