Hi Sebastian,  
Just a small thing - sometimes Telescopius displays object size to 18 significant figures - like this :-

I’m sure this is probably just a floating-point error in the calculations.

Cheers,

Gary

Thank you Gary, this is fixed now 🙂 There was a problem when converting those values to strings.

Thanks Sebastian,

Great - yes, I suspect it was something like that 🙂
