cluttered screen

[Jeff Gordon]

I am rather new to astrometry.net and like to  use it when I am shooting with my canon. The screen is cluttered at the middle and hard to read. I would like to make sure my target is centered but it is just difficult to read anything near the middle of the screen. I am sure this has probably been discussed before and maybe I am not doing something I should but is there a way to declutter the screen to make the Id'd object name readable? Then I can see if I am centering my target object.....or if there is an faq section or someplace here I could look, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks,

Some options that MAY be useful...none of the following reduce the amount of labelling.

• When you put the cursor on the image, a bar will appear at the top of the image with various other images that can be loaded.  You can blink between "Original" and "Annotated" to see what the image contains.
• You could use the center of image RA and Dec in a planetarium program, such as Cartes du Ciel, and determine where you are 'aimed.'
• Use the link to the World Wide Telescope on the right side...again to find where you are aimed.
