Hello everyone,
here's my first image processed with IRIS. A big thank you to tornado33 for giving me the clues to using IRIS.
This image is NGC 2997 a 10th Magnitude barred-spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Antila.
The image is 3 x 3 minute images stacked at ISO1600 and dark frame removed with the Canon EOS 300D on my 12-inch newtonian.
You can see a slightly higher version of the image here:

When the weather permits I'll be going after this galaxy again but with lower ISO settings hoping to improve detail and colour.
Does anyone know when the clouds will nick off ?
Paul
