Hi Fred
It seems that you are making progress, but I'm sorry you are still having trouble. Is your computer set up to use a comma as a decimal separator by chance? If so, you will need to change your computer's "locale" to one that uses a dot as a decimal separator instead. The next release of AIJ will be able to operate properly on a computer that is set for a comma decimal separator, but 2.1.4 will not.
Another possibility: some users have had problems with images which have FITS header styles that cause AIJ to not find a valid time in the headers. All of the issues that I am aware of are fixed in version 2.1.4. Could you send me a copy of the header you are using, or better yet, send me one of your images to karen dot collins at insightbb dot com? I would be happy to check that your image works on my machine, and if not, fix whatever is causing the problem due to your FITS header format.
If we don't make progress with the above, I need to better understand the steps you are taking when you are clicking on objects. Are you running Multi-Aperture (
) when
you are trying to click on objects or are you in single aperture
mode (
)
on the AIJ toolbar?
By the way, a new section 10 was added to the AIJ user guide a couple of weeks ago. If you haven't looked at this yet, section 10 is a step-by-step guide for how to perform differential photometry with a stack of calibrated images. The new version of the user guide can be accessed here:

Well, I followed all the steps, I manage to change the max memory allocation to 5GB (I've got 8) and upgrade AIJ to 1.2.4, which is an improvement but I'm still not able to select objects to stack images or do photometry : nothing happens when I click on objects...
