Hi Cliff,

This is very helpful debug information. I'm not sure how to accommodate those unusual BZERO and BSCALE values in AIJ with a quick fix. We are in the process of integrating a more standard fits file reader into AIJ. I am hoping that will correct this problem, but it's not something I can complete in the next couple of weeks. The new reader will also support .fz compressed files, so I'd rather focus on that as possible fix for this problem too.

Would you be able to run all of your files through your python script for the current project and then run photometry in AIJ? Then maybe I can integrated the new fits reader into AIJ in a couple of months and retest your files (I've saved them with my batch of fits files that have been problematic for AIJ).

Thanks again so much for providing this additional debug information. I am hoping you can move forward with your fix since that appears to solve the problem in my testing here.
