Re: DIY Stack and Stitch System

Here's an update on the development of the DIY Precision S&S System. This effort has now evolved to try to implement motor control algorithms and setups to allow very fast stepping, but still maintain IQ, with a goal of 1~2 second steps. This will be achieved hopefully by reducing motor movement induced vibrations with adaptive motor control algorithms and fully electronic curtain shutters.

Here's a test image that took ~ 3hrs to complete with ~2000 images (others have taken days at ~6000 images). Be sure an download the image to see the resolution achieved with S&S techniques. If the step time can be reduced to ~1.5sec then this 2000 image session can be reduced to ~1hr. Download last image, it's ~27,500 by 21,500 pixels!
