[Qgis-user] QGIS project with no projection

I want to use QGIS to make measurements such as distances and angles on a
flat scaled image which I have as a georeferenced tiff. I don't want to use
any projection - just a straightforward orthogonal linear scale in metres.
QGIS seems to require that I choose a projection. What would be the best
choice for my needs? Can I make a custom projection with no ellipsoid or
datum?

If I import my geotiff and don't specify a projection QGIS assumes my units
are in degrees rather than metres, which will make measurement of distances
and angles inaccurate.

Grateful for assistance.
