Hello Karen

Thanks for confirming, seems like a simple error which was hiding in plain view for several years ..  

In trying to get to grips with Multi-Plot, I tripped over the issue while trawling though the extended AIJ paper. Downloaded 3.4.0.04 and the apertures are consistent with 2-4-6x FWHM on one of my test images.

FYI 1 .. BAA member Eliot Hall has developed a working version AIJ-java plugin to convert AIJ photometry results into a format compatible with the British Astronomical Association database. I'll ask Eliot to get in touch when it's ready for release.

FYI 2 .. I've developed a collection of Excel-based vba macros to automate session planning, download and creation of radec files etc to support AIJ photometry. Somewhat inspired by Eliot's work .. started to consider  converting some of the routines to java to access as ImageJ plugin(s). Will email the details separately.
