Identifying and labelling galaxies on an image

[lukebl]

Just wondered how to label an image to include the faint DSOs in the background?

I use astrometry.net and All Sky Plate Solver for my plate solving which are great, but they only identify the biggest and brightest objects in the field of view. For instance, the image below has gazillions of galaxies in the view, but astrometry.net just identifies a few of them.

I understand that PixInsight will do it, but I don't want to go to that expense.

Have a look at this, https://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/ 

I haven’t had a chance to try it out, but it has been recommended by other SGL members. There is also Skysafari pro for Apple devices?

The Skkysafari Pro databases are pretty extensive........

Looks like Protozoa under the microscope...
