Hi!I just read the draft tutorial for IRIS and that made me realize how user-unfriendly IRIS is for importing and calibrating raw images, while the aperture photometry part is quite nice IMHO.(also in AIP4WIN, it doesn't seem trivial to extract the GREEN channel from the raws without AIP4WIN white balancing the image IIRC.)So, what about the following procedure:Instead, use FITSWORK http://freenet-homepage.de/JDierks/softw_en.htm to* extract RAWs* calibrate rawsmaybe even stack images then save to FITS fileand do the aperture photometry in IRIS. The advantage would be that many people who are interested in astronomy and own a DSLR may be familiar with Fitswork already, and for those who aaren't, it's quite user friendly IMHO.CUHeinz-Bernd

I would prefer to have complete tutorials that rely only on one software package and then Excel (or OpenOffice calc) rather than have our user base install several different packages... more things to go wrong.
