[APBeta] Warning: 2.0b89

[Sander Pool]

Tony,

to overlay star maps you need to plate solve your images first. I use 
the free Elbrus application or astrometry.net for that. You can then 
load the image in Aladin http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/aladin.gml and 
overlay objects from a huge set of catalogs. I'm not sure if you can 
then save the resulting image as a new image, I haven't tried that yet.

Sorry for the OT but I hope it was useful.
