Have you applied any sort of calibration to the image Toby such as darks, bias and flats?

Do you want to put text labels on the image?

If so; in a photo editor like Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or GIMP just place text box on a layer in front of the image where you want the label - choose a nice contrasting font colour and type in your text.

Using a layer means you can turn the text on and off without affecting the image.

Hope this helps

Hope you're not offended - I couldn't help but have a go.

I searched Google images and found a labelled image of the Virgo Cluster and this is some of what you've got.

I did this in Photoshop

Toby,

If you upload your picture to Flickr and put it in this group Flickr: astrometry then it should label the galaxies up after a little while.
