Notice

This is the AutoProf isophotal code, it works great in its domain which is wherever one would use isophotal fitting. Thus it is suitable for mostly isolated, mostly resolved, objects. If you are limited by the PSF, crowding, or want to model multi-band/epoch data you may want to consider "AstroPhot" a full forward modelling code. Just follow this link to check it out!
