Hello, Karen,

It’s a pleasure to have your kind attention. I see you have multiple things going on in your career, but still find time to oversee the AIJ users group.

I earned a PhD in Cellular Biology at the University of Georgia in Athens (1988) and retired as an associate professor of Biochemistry at a Brazilian university in 2016. Since then, I have used most of my free time in amateur astronomy. Variable stars, mainly.

Now to the point:

Yes, I have been installing the mac-x86_64Bit version on my mid-2011 iMac, and the windows-x86_64Bit version on my Windows 10 and 11 machines.

Whenever I have to reinstall AIJ on my Mac (because it refused to start up, and the Mac issued the log file I sent you), I immediately upgrade it to the daily build, as per Dennis Conti’s instructions in his Advanced Use of AstroImageJ for Exoplanet Observing course that I took earlier this year. So, I didn’t ever try running AIJ without upgrading it to the daily build.

It takes a while for AIJ to refuse to start up, and it only does it to start up after running it a couple of times, which varies. So, it does not happen while I'm running/using it, but when starting it up. The next time it happens, I will reinstall it without upgrading it, to see what happens.

I will send you any additional information that I gather on the subject.

Best regards,

Ari
