I've been playing around with a nice little utility called UniMap, which does local platesolving. Though it is in an early alpha it is pretty good.

Homepage of unimap

I've installed it and I ran it against the full-size M104 image linked on Flickr, and it picked up a shed load of PCG galaxies in the background. Worth a look anyway.
