Re: Adding WCS images

Josch Hambsch Feb 27, 2005

Thanks Bill,

for the info on how to use the WCS images in Guide.
It works also with me. However, if I check the show DSS images, also
lots of other images pop up. I guess its the PGC galaxy images etc.

It looks like there is no choice on what to switch on and what not.
Where is the info stored on the available images to be displayed in
Guide??

Regards,

Josch
