Description

After doing some star tracker testing under non-ideal conditions, I captured the same area again. It's obvious how much more can be pulled out under better conditions.

Now, there are actually more objects noticeable at most of the highlighted objects through astrometry.

For reference the previous image I am referring to:

Title: Messier, NGC, IC and PGC counted

Description: Triggered by comments from friends here on AB, I though I give this image a deeper analysis. I let PI plate solve and annotate the original image (see above). Of course, PI doesn't check if an object is visible. So, the image also annotates objects which cannot be seen on my image (15045 in total).
However, as PI provides a txt-File with object coordinates for this annotation, I checked the provided pixels it they have sufficient intensity (I >= 50/255). If so, I've counted the object as visible.
Given this procedure and some uncertainty, it's save to say that this image shows 1000 objects which are either in Messier, NGC, IC or PGC.
