    Measuring Distance

    In SkySafari Plus and Pro, you can measure the distance between objects. Start by selecting an object you want to measure the distance from and then select "Measure From" by tapping the Selection button in the Toolbar. Tap on the object you want to measure to, and a line between your selected object and the object you initially selected will appear. The angular distance in the sky between the objects is shown at the end of the line, as well as the physical distance between those objects in space (if known).

    Tap anywhere away from the distance measurement line to dismiss it or select "Cancel Measure From" from the Selection button in the Toolbar.

      In Skysafari Plus 6.5.0 the angular distance isn't showing up, only the physical distance.

      I should probably be more specific, since I just noticed it's working perfectly on iOS. I was talking about the Mac OS version where the angular diameter isn't showing up. Thanks.

      Hi,
      I've got the same problem. I see it's several weeks since it was reported, can you provide an ETA on the fix please?
      Thanks.
