Hi Lawrence,

There are two key settings here. In Extras... DSS/RealSky images,
you can set the fields of view at which the images are shown. If you
ask for all images to be shown at a really wide field of view, you'll
have quite a wait; hundreds of images may be shown.

The second setting lets you exclude images that would be really
tiny. Hit Alt-J and enter a line such as

MIN_IMG_SIZE=80

for example, and Guide will drop out images smaller than 80 pixels
across. So the really small images will be ignored at wide fields of
view. (The default is 40 pixels.)
