Where can I find the high res image?

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.

The original image is 50,000 x 25,000 so it's possible that this is the maximum resolution possible
