I have included a table (Table 1) of how I determined the semi-major and semi-minor axis for the spiral galaxy $ESO286-G16$. The X Minor and Y Minor come from the points on the semi-minor axis and the X Major and Y Major come from the points on the semi-major axis. I found both lengths by taking two points on the major axis and two points on the minor axis. I used the pythagorean theorem (Length equation) in order to find the lengths. The difference in coordinates is just taking the first coordinates and subtracting the second coordinates. The length of the major and minor axis are found by the Pythagorean theorem which states: \begin {equation}  Length = {[(\textrm{Difference in Minor Coordinates})^2 + (\textrm{Difference in Major Coordinates})^2]}^{1/2}
