I should double check my coordinates next time....
:-[ Oops! Made a bit of a typo when when submitting an observation.
Ended up with a lovely picture of some unidentified stars at RA 13 16 10 Dec +44 59 00 [at least that's what I requested]
What a nice picture...not the Sunflower Galaxy as expected (spot the mistake?)
After quite a bit of research (and by sheer luck, finding a program called Aladin [url]http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/[/url]) I scanned the star charts and DSS images for familiar features. Not an easy task, as the original image was rotated through an unknown angle. So, after a couple of days research here are my results....
I've tried my best at astrometrical calibration, it's just about lined up.
Attached data file for the objects I found, and the surrounding neighbourhood (see image below)
Attached my original colour image.
