You can always use Aladin and the DSS database to compare images. Here your image is N down and E to the right.

Eyeballing it in Aladin puts the target at 22 52 -09 12 so;
1998 SB144 RA 22 52 36.0; DEC -09 11 51; V 18; Offsets 1.4W 4.2N

appears to be the closest target. Why not get hold of Astrometrica (its very cheap and has a fully functional trial version) to load your image in and autoplatesolve and it will plot known targets as an overlay.

Cheers
