This Jeffs image with the local DSOs, very cool.

Try clicking on the Google Sky link (.kmz). It should over lay the image to Google Sky.

Hi Bart.
I think that you will need to go back to the homepage and click on your image that will show up as 'Recent Images'.
Give that a try.

Bart it can take a while. Wide angles usually take longer while it deals with the distortion. Some do fail.

Liz, the tagged objects aren't necessarily visible in the image. I limited it to no more than the brightest 40 DSOs. Here's yours.

Oh, thank you Andrew!! Astrometry wouodnt do that image, though did do another!! I like it. Merry Xmas.
