How to identify the stars? I turned to my newly acquired Stary Night Pro 4.5 ...

But it didn't help me much (catalog based on Hipparcos & Tycho-2). That's okay I thought - Stary Night has an online feature where you can download extra stars for a region from the USNO B catalog.

The image from Stary Night below (JNow) has the USNO stars added in. But my little ToUcam image has many more stars than are listed - what's going on.
