Thanks for the update, JC. I think I've got about 28 cents in my shots. My first attempts melted before I could get a shot. So I put the viewing table face down in the snow and left it for 10 minutes. That took care of the melting. My biggest problem was finding a sharp point of focus. It was kind of windy, but I think the blurriness was more a result of parallax (distorted reflection), from the magnifying glass. Perhaps if I mounted it in a tube to shield it from light entering on the sides.....anyways, I'm going to keep trying.Let me know if you make any progress.
