Hi -

You may be on to something with the images. I used an image from my camera and converted it to a stack using the RGB -> images -> stack under the Color menu. Then after clicking on the stack align button I still can not place apertures. At this point the Astronomy_tool tool is set in the AstroImageJ toolbar. If I go to this tool bar and click on the Aperture tool. I can place apertures in the image window. Click on Stack Align button and place a few more apertures then right click to try to align and I'm not sure anything happens. There's no report anyhow. When I click on the Stack Align button I don't see the help window that used to pop up with the first stack of images. The first stack of images continues to show no apertures even when I click on the Aperture Photometry tool.

I tried renaming the preferences file but that did not help with the first set of images.

The first set of images where I can not place apertures is in FITS format. They are from the Sloan Digital  Sky Survey here: http://das.sdss.org/www/html/post_coords.html  Fairly random image I was just looking for something to try with AIJ. They are fairly large about 6 MB. I will try to email them one at a time.
