I would like to identify faint galaxies in my images. I have used Aladin v12.0  to download one of my images but I am struggling to get any further. Ideally I would like to be able to click on a galaxy and display information about it.
I have tried Aladin Lite which is much easier to use but the galaxies I am interested in, near NGC898 do not have a name. Maybe they are too faint?

A basic novices guide for Aladin 12.0 or nearest version would be appreciated just to get me going. I would like to overlay available information on my images or search a database or sky atlas and also be able to look at available images. Stellarium already lets me do this to just over mag 15.
I see there is a database called HyperLeda but I am not allowed access so presumably it is for professionals?

I've made 2 videos on this subject. They were for a friend who wanted to identify double stars, but the process is the same for any type of object.
These videos are in French, but you can use the Youtube auto translation.
