Isn't that just "2x" ?

I know it's 4x the area...but everything else (in particular, zoom) is linear.

Yea Sherm, I realized that after the 5-minute time limit ran out to edit the post. I'm afraid I'm not very good at the arithmetic of photography (not so great at the spelling either). The cropping factor messed me up (again!).

Impressive nonetheless.   You started with one very clean image ( from the stacking ) and then upsampled that single image to get your result, right?

This is an excellent example of why one should avoid the in-camera digital zooms (and iZoom).  Your 2x upsample in Photoshop shows none of the terrible artifact seen in the iZoom captures.
