That's about the spacing on smd ATmega chips too. I had my first go at soldering
one up yesterday. It needs a thin tip, thin solder and desoldering braid for the
botch ups. I got a 3x head fitting magnifier for use while soldering and a 10x
jeweller's magnifier to check the connections. I was actually rather surprised
that it worked!
