The problem there is to figure out the size, position and orientation of your user images so that they can be overlaid on the chart (the DSS server provides this info as part of each download).

I guess I could add some kind of "poor man's astrometry" feature where you click on (at least) two known positions/objects on the image. The other possibility (as outlined by Sander) is to let you do the astrometry using an external app, and I read your FITS files. At this point, though, I don't see that happening for V2.
