If you're new to CdC it's a bit of work to set up but I reckon worth the effort. I've been using it long enough to be able to answer most questions you might have.
The release version is OK. The beta has a few fixes, and more bells and whistles.
To get these asteroids you can't use the list it downloads by default as that only has the first 5000 objects. You need to get the MPCORB.DAT file and restrict it to using the first say 50000 "numbered" objects. (There are over 600000 rows at present and it takes ages to load.)
One thing you can do is add your images to those it can overlay. You have to get them into FITS format with the correct WCS information. You can do that with astrometry.net - another "fun" to set up program.
