I'd like to see if I can identify background galaxies in an image I took recently. I can count at least 1-2 dozen in this image by eye.

I've imaged this region extensively as well. You should be able to find anything you want by usin Aladin Lite.

Such an amazing script. Could be my favorite Seti astro tool.

It certainly gives you something to do on those cloudy nights. Seti Astro also has an asteroid hunter and a variable star/exoplanet hunter. Tons of fun there...
