Re: [guide-user] No DSS images at wide FOVs

AAHH. I have found they are added to the Guide.dat file!! Great I can
change these values when needed!!

This is why GUIDE is the greatest Astronomy software ever written.
Well... There is this imaging and editing software a member of out

GUIDE is the best at what is does!

Thanks for the great product!!
