Hello,

First, a big thank you for all of the work on AIJ - it's a really great piece of software and I'm a big fan of it.

We have a robotic telescope and the data gets reduced and astrometrically registered with IRAF pipelines/routines. So I don't use the AIJ DP, but I use the multi-aperture photometry. The problem is that I would like the output to include correct values of HJD and BJD.

My file headers include keywords like OBSLAT, OBSLONG and ELEVATIO. I can set these guys as input using the DP Fits Header Updates section, but I think they're only being used within DP and they don't affect the Multi-Aperture output.

Without going through DP, is there a way to have AIJ calculate the HJD and BJD, and output them with the other measures, using pre-existing header keyword values?

Also, under the Aperture Photometry Sections, are there Keywords that would allow the centroid coordinates of each target (something like e.g. RA_T1, DEC_T1, RA_C2, DEC_C2...) to be printed as columns in the output file?

Best,
Scott
