Thanks for your efforts, Simmo. Would love to see the result. (I actually bought and paid for PI, but never learned how to get the mathematical shrink-wrap off).

Our image centre is approximately 22:02:16 -43:06:56 +/-10 sec arc pointing error.


Jerome's 9 o'clock object is definitely an obscure galaxy. Simbad lists it as AM 2158-433 but it probably has aliases.

The aqua blob toward top right is at 21:59:25.8 -43:04:08.3, where Simbad shows an unnamed star of indeterminate coolish colour. So not an artefact. Sadly, the nearest quasar listed in the MilliQuas million quasar catalogue is about three fields away. However, it is a sparse catalogue.
