    If there are at least 7 stars in the picture you might be able to use this 
    website created by a google employee which works amazingly well.  With at 
    least 20 stars it almost always works even down to field of view under 1 
    degree.  It doesn't matter if it is image reversed or whatnot.  You don't 
    need to know where in the sky the photo was taken and so on.

    I used to have a beta test account which might still work but I think the 
    above public interface probably works fine.  If you have trouble getting it 
    to work, send a link to the picture in question to seesat.  It must have at 
    least 7 stars though.
