Can I ask what settings you used? I just got the raynox 250 and tried some focus stacking at f5.6 and a focus bracketing increment of 3/10 and when i was at the back-end of my insect it got too small and ended up all messed up, was the stack too big or did I mess up something else?

was this stacking IN CAMERA ?? What camera and lenses are you using?

this happens because you are shooting the image at 45 deg above the subject, the best results are when you shoot from the same level and then either move the camera towards the subject or use focus stacking. its a very common problem. you need to shoot on the same plain as the subject.
