Whatever the case, the amateur astronomy community world-wide, is certainly grateful for such wonderful software, so generously provided for free!

Thanks a lot Dennis
. The Iris software is a powerful process mean as you may control everything. The interface is not "game-like" as others annd you have to type instructions but i prefer it than Registax which does not produce very good works (to me, of course).
I still do not know if french are mathematics and signal processing geniuses but we have a huge chance to have Christian Buil and his colleagues/friends to develop this software and many other things. They are trying to link pros and ams with suggested domains that each part can work about. In this moment, spectroscopy is one of the domain that amateurs can perform. I do not know if australian amateurs are into this thing.

A few years ago, this team has also designed "the ccd camera for everbody". You can assemble the cooled Kaf400 sensor head and power supply with less than 2500 AUD .

I think that i am going into this ccd soon (er... in a very near future
)
Clear skies!!!
