Thanks for the high-res! Was able to confirm there's no way it's more than 9,999,797.
Huh, I counted 10,000,014. I must have counted a few twice, I'll have to start over.
Did you double count altaris 31b? It's a pretty common mistake
There are still some blurry ones in the back, how can I enhance them?
Get cast in a cop/spy/sci-fi drama on TV, have an assistant pull up the image on a screen, then simply say "Enhance" out loud.
If you spend five seconds ‘poring over it’ you’ll also be able to spot ‘unmistakable signs’ of ‘alien civilisations’ with your butt-nekked eyebawllz.
The original image is 50,000 x 25,000 so it's possible that this is the maximum resolution possible
