How to stack FITS files with Iris

Iris is a free piece of software for Microsoft Windows that allows you to do basic data processing on astronomical data files. Sometimes you won't be able to take a long exposure (for example, there might be bright stars in the field of view which would saturate), and you have to take many shorter exposure and then stack them. This guide will run you through stacking FITS images with Iris.
