Hi Sam,
    At this time, AstroImageJ does not support a scripting/command line capability. However, scripting is a frequent request, so the capability will likely be offered in a future AIJ release. From reviewing the Maestro user guide, my understanding is that you want to feed AIJ an ASCII file with lists of calibration and science image names, and a list of target and comp star X,Y positions. Then you want to start AIJ from the command line with some potential command line options to have it reduce the science images and perform multi-aperture photometry without any GUI-based interaction. If this interpretation is incorrect, or if you want to provide more specific details about how you would prefer to see scripting implemented, I would consider your input as part of a future scripting implementation.

Hello,

Is there a way to create a script to run AstroImageJ? I would like to control AstroImageJ from the command line because I would like to repeat data reductions quickly and reliably.

My goal is to do fixed-aperture time-series photometry with Barycentric time correction. Basically, I'd like to use AstroImageJ to do what Maestro and WQED already do.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Sam Harrold
