Hi,

I am an undergrad student trying to use AstroImageJ and I have run into major problems trying to get this program to work for me. First, it was nearly impossible to get the correct version of Java I needed installed properly on my machine. Then, I kept getting errors saying AIJ just wont open on my machine, even after forcing my machine to open apps from any developer. But, I found a fix for that too, and now it opens properly, but it isn't AIJ.

Don't get me wrong, it's the correct application downloaded from the correct place, but it only has the functionality of ImageJ. There are no AIJ plugins, not even the update one, and no hint of anything astro related anywhere. However, in the "About" panel it still shows it is definitely AIJ and is up to date.

I think this is a compatibility problem with the new MacOS Catalina and I have no idea how to solve it. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance
