Extreme image:- The Tip of a Needle

Amazing how much detail is on the tip of a needle.

This a combination of microscope and telescope techniques.
In order to obtain sufficient image scale I used eyepiece projection using one of the eyepieces from a stereo microscope and a tele-extender from my old C11 scope.

Due to the extreme focal length the shutter was triggered remotely to avoid camera vibration.

Five separate images were taken at different focus and stacked using Zerene Stacker.
Each exposure was for 5 seconds @ 200 ISO using a Pentax k-r.

Regards

Steven
