Another cool creature that occasionally visits my moth night light setup. There guys are a fairly large beetle.  About 120 frames used to stack this in Helicon Focus.

These close views make the beetles and such look like monster aliens! Fabulous details and clarity. 120 frames- must have been quick!

superb eye detail.
I think that helicon introduced some errors on both the right and left hand antennae....probably an easy manual focus blend for those areas though....

nice POV... unfortunately the Helicon messed up a bit on the leg/antena overlap... maybe set up a different parameters for better stacking results.
