  One of my frequent uses of AstroImageJ is inspection of FITS image sequences captured while observing asteroidal occultations. These sequences range from a few hundred to many thousand files, and the ability to rapidly cycle from one image to the next while maintaining the same region of interest, contrast settings, etc., is quite valuable. There are several records in the header for each file that are of particular interest as a sequence is being evaluated. Header data can be viewed directly using AIJ, of course, however it appears necessary to open a new FITS Header Editor window for each file. Is there a way to configure the editor such that the header data fields are updated when the next file in an image sequence is selected using the left or right arrows? A display-only option would suit my needs, since my interest is limited to verifying stored versus expected values.
