Re: [guide-user] ngc 6199 and others

All charting programs use the same basic data sets so incorrectly
poistioned data is no surprise. There has been quite an industry in
correcting the positions and in Guide 8 Bill is using a new version of the
NGC by Wolfgang Steinke which will correct a lot of these errors.

As for DSS images save them as FITS files and then you can display them in
Guide.
