Hi David,
Do you have a list of RA/Dec for all >300 stars? If so, I
think the easiest way is to recreate the AIJ .apertures file from
the RA/Dec list using John Kielkopf's utility that converts RA/Dec
to AIJ x,y coordinates (I've copied John here since he provided the
conversion utility). Are you able to use that utility directly?
The other option is to use a text editor to open the main/first
.apertures file. You would need to append three lines from each of
your other .apertures files into the main/first .apertures file. The
lines you need to append start with:
.multiaperture.isrefstar= (append only the additional
true/false/commas - do NOT add an enter/line feed between each set -
the line will be very long and will wrap around several times)
.multiaperture.xapertures= (append only the additional numbers and
commas - do NOT add an enter/line feed between each set - the line
will be very long and will wrap around several times)
.multiaperture.yapertures= (append only the additional numbers and
commas - do NOT add an enter/line feed between each set - the line
will be very long and will wrap around several times)

I am doing multiple photometry. I have over 300

I have being doing the photometry in lots of 50 stars. Is there a
way to combine the aperture files so that I can display all the
apertures on an image at one time?
