Hi, I've got some images of M82. I'm trying to identify a specific object in the image, SN2014J, to create a light curve plot of, as part of a photometry project. 
I'm using AstroImageJ. Every tutorial I've watched, the RA and Dec are visible with the images, but when I open up my images, this information isn't shown. I'm unsure why that is, and I also can't identify the object in the image to use as a reference. 
I know the supernova has RA 09:55:42.139 and Dec +69:40:26.00, but I don't know where in the image it is.
I've attached one of the reduced images I'm using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have never used AstroImageJ before, but in the window it says "No WCS", which might be why it can't convert pixel to RA,Dec coordinates :)

cheers,
