Oops, thought I punched in the other one! You should use Aladin - you can open a DSS image of the field you want, and by loading any number of weird & wonderful catalogues it'll tell you everything known about every single object in the field. Objects get ringed, and if you click on them the relevant catalogues entries pop up in bars below. For more information, you click on the object designation, and a separate window opens with the full catalogue information. Awesome, but I'm still in Preps as far as using Aladin goes...
