Loren, thanks for the kind words.

I did not invent the mouseover switch to a star chart. Many others have used this technique before me. I'm not sure who first used this technique with star charts, but it certainly is a great application and is very useful. Besides switching to a star chart, it can be used to compare various versions of a processed image, or to point out particular objects of interest. I've also seen Matt BenDaniel use the mouseover technique to compare night and day widefield images of the same scene.

Clear skies,
