Very nice work there, Kevin! Obviously, your positioner does a good job, as expected.

#2 is my favourite. However, whilst looking at the photo I always find myself bending my head to the rhs :). Hence, I would prefer to have it 90° rotated anti-clockwise, but that´s just a personal opinion.

hi morgan,
You've got that positioner working nicely. All comes down to the fine-tuning of the lighting and stacking proceedure. Test Phase One complete.
