Thank you Clare & Peter, and David, I appreciate your comments.
It was an enjoyable session even though I had to set up in a hurry as the weather suddenly cleared, skipping my usual alignment procedures (T-Point and PA). I just plonked the tripod on the locating marks on the 3 small concrete pavers sunk into the grass in our back garden and hoped for the best.
I have since discovered that PixInsight can identify and label Asteroids via a Script, although the source database files will not list any very recent discoveries until those database files are updated.
If the FITs header has the necessary data, you can run a Script to Image Solve the photo, and then run another Script to Annotate the photo based on that solution.
Cheers
Dennis
