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
