Includes
ImageJ 1.54s and Java 25
General
- The sharedskis external BJD conversion API has been revised to accommodate converting all JD values in a table to BJDs in a single operation, which significantly speeds up the conversions (>10x).
- The new API now also includes latitude and longitude of the observatory, making the BJD conversion slightly more precise.
- The Windows AIJ Launcher is now signed, so Windows 11 Smart App Controller will now allow AIJ to open.
- Measurements Tables now support strings in any cell of any column. The key benefit here is that Keywords having string values may now be extracted from FITS headers as Multi-Aperture runs. It is not available now, but the next release will allow meridian flip times to be set based on a change in string value in a column (e.g. East changing to West).
- The header editor search function now highlights matches on a per cell basis, rather than on a per row basis. Also, backwards searching is supported by <Shift> Enter (forward is non-shifted Enter), and both search directions are supported by two new arrow icons.
New Features
- Added Latitude and Longitude Keyword options to Multi-plot’s Add Data panel
- This allows lat and long to be extracted from headers for automatic setup in the CC panel
- After set-up the user will no longer need to hand set lat and long in CC as long as the associated key words stay the same
- The inclusion of Lat and Long slightly improves the accuracy of the BJD time conversions by shared skies
- Airmass and other values will now also be calculated correctly from the lat and long from the headers.
- The Add Data panel now includes a cancel button in case lengthy conversions need to be aborted.
Other
- Catch an exception caused by Prism plate solving, which caused invalid FITS files to be produced. Prism also includes a standard WCS solution, so the images will still be recognized within as having a valid WCS solution. If the files are resaved from AIJ, the non-standard Prism WCS-related header values will be lost or corrupted.
