Want to know the size (in kilometers or miles) of a sunspot, lunar crater, festoon on Jupiter, etc. that you see in a photographic image?\u00a0 My latest software creation called Automated Astronomical Object Feature Measurer (or AAOFM for short) can quickly and accurately tell you the answer.\u00a0 The app is offered free for\u00a0download.<\/em><\/p>\n

Designed to run on Windows, Linux and Mac computers.\u00a0 Note: This is a beta version and I need feedback concerning any bugs that may exist in the app.\u00a0 I have installed and run the software successfully on Windows and Linux computers; therefore, input from Mac users would be appreciated.<\/em><\/div>\n
