Currently, when hovering the mouse pointer over a star field the status bar at the bottom shows "(pixel x, pixel y) : pixel value RA: ##:##:##.### DEC: ##:##:##.###"
This is great, but some more information would be extremely useful for photometry. In particular, things like max pixel value in an image, max value within an aperture circle that moves with the cursor, and flux (or even flux-background, measured within an aperture circle and annulus) would be very helpful for determining image properties. Particularly the max value within an aperture circle would be helpful, since it is currently very difficult to determine this by moving the cursor around attempting to find the one pixel with the highest value when investigating image saturation.
