Good point! When I superimposed all the catalogs I could find in Aladin, I was really surprised. There are numerous unidentified objects both brighter and fainter. Would it be worthwhile releasing this image (fits format) for educational and scientific curiosity and to see what comes back? Would that be of interest?
