Interesting. Downloaded combineZP yesterday. The options are
countless. HeliconFocus isn't free, I'll try combinezp first.

I've added three pictures to the gallery of stacks:

http://picasaweb.google.com/don.donwilliams/Stack/photo#5208684297290493794

The background in the first one was annoying so I moved the camera 
closer and started again rather than look for something to cover the 
bright part of my desk. Pic -1266 was made by stacking 27 exposures -- 
1/6s at f22 and the last picture -1538 is a stack of 14 of them  -- 
leaving out every second exposure. For this operation I used 
HeliconFocus and it seems to do as well an combineZP with less fuss -- 
in this case. The total depth of the flower -- from the front edge of 
the petals to the hairy bits is 75mm. Same lens -- Sigma 50mm Apo Macro. 
I think it would be quite easy to get a good result with even fewer 
frames at this aperture.
