Thanks, Geoff, absolutely gorgeous.
You must have very clear steady skies at your imaging location -
excellent contrast and tight small stars - wonderful :-)
Sadly always below my horizon, but for Skymap pro users, it's actually
shown on the chart as SL 17 complete with an outline. So I've taken the
liberty of playing with your image and adding references in the Skymap
Quick Catalogue. So attached are:
Your image rotated 90 deg clockwise to put North up, and named SL 17
A Quick Catalogue screenshot to show an approximate area of your image
(using a galaxy symbol for shape)
Your image overlaid on Skymap
A Quick Catalogue screenshot for the overlay.
Skymap users need to enter the appropriate Quick Catalogue parameters
manually using the entries shown on the screenshots.
Hope they are useful to some people.
Cheers,
Peter

I took this one at the July New Moon weekend. It was a little tricky to
process and I thank Niall MacNeill and Dean Carr for helpful comments on
a preliminary version.
