I have not been able to figure out how to get DSS images for objects
not in the image collection on CD2. For example, PK 318.4+41.4 (Abell
36), shows the images for the galaxies all around it, including
obscure ones like LEDA 170280 and PGC 48290, but only shows the PN as
a central star and symbol.

I tried all sorts of things with the Extras|DSS/RealSky images dialog
without any success. When I click on "DSS Images from Internet" I get
the hourglass for less than a second, then nothing else.

I also tried running GET_DSS.exe (dated 8-26-2003) from windows, just
to see what happens, and I get the Windows death message (GET_DSS.exe
has generated errors and will be closed by Windows...) - but I don't
know if this is just because it wasn't meant to be run this way.

Any suggestions? I'm running the 1 October 2003 version.
