I have a question John.I think you use a macro rail along with tripod for the stacks correct?I have been facing issues for stacking while using the tripod.The wind just moves the subject so much that the natural light cant be captured due to the movement.any tips for this?

Awesome macro shot. Love the colors and softness.
