Includes

ImageJ 1.53k and Java 18

New Features

• General
  • On MacOS, “command Q” and toolbar menu item “Quit” now save the preferences to disk before AIJ closes.
• Multiplot
  • File menu now offers an option to produce an AAVSO variable star report (thank you Dennis Conti!) (see link on set-up panel for instructions)
  • Detrend columns with all NaNs are now flagged in the fitting panel if selected
  • Optimization now ignores all NaN columns (previsouly they caused an incorrect optimization)
  • Fixed a detrend optimization bug caused by specific BIC initial condition.
  • Updating of comp star and detrend settings after optimization more efficient (only one table and/or plot update required after each optimization).
• FITS Handling
  • Fits files (except 3D fits files) can now be written in compressed FPACK (.fz) format (and optionally with gzip compression as well). Previously, only FPACK files could be opened.
  • AIJ now opens gzipped + fpacked fits files when named *.fz.gz.
  • Update nom.tam to 1.17.0 within annotate keyword support overlaid.
  • AIJ now removes NAXIS entry when a 3D fits stack has been opened and then saved as individual images
• FITS Header Editor
  • Now allows keywords longer than 8 characters, although it violates FITS spec
• Seeing Profile Stack
  • Multi-plot save-all option now allows saving of the summary image as a png, and/or the full seeing stack as a multi-image gif.
  • New buttons under the seeing profile stack to save images as png or pdf, or the full stack as a multi-image pdf or gif.
• Aperture Settings
  • The option “Julian Date (J.D.-2400000)” has been renamed to “Time Stamps (JD_UTC, etc.)” since it controls multiple time stamps being written to the measurements table.

Bug Fixes

• Multiaperture
  • Now saves target and ref star designations when finished so that the “Recall” button on the Reference Star panel will restore the initial settings (e.g. after a comp star optimization).
• Multiplot
  • The location of the seeing profile image stack that gets created when using a variable aperture is now recalled correctly from session to session.
• Fitting Panel
  • All light curves now updated after an optimization operation completes
• Data Processor
  • Fixed a problem where invalid path names in DP on a Mac could cause an exception and resulting in the file opener icons to be inoperable.
