We note that the theory of elimination of imaginaries in differentially closed fields produces a generalized Schwarzian derivative \widetilde{χ}:Y \to Z (where Z is some algebraic variety) expressing the quotient of Y by the action of the constant points of G. Under the additional hypothesis that the restriction of π to some set containing a fundamental domain is definable in an o-minimal expansion of the real field, we show as a consequence of the Peterzil-Starchenko o-minimal GAGA theorem that the \emph{prima facie} differentially analytic relation χ := \widetilde{χ} \circ π^{-1} is a well-defined, differential constructible function. The function χ nearly inverts π in the sense that for any differential field K of meromorphic functions, if a, b \in X(K) then χ(a) = χ(b) if and only if after suitable restriction there is some γ \in G(C) with π(γ \cdot π^{-1}(a)) = b.
