Hmmm... just tried this, and the image is shifted from the
underlying stars by about 2", to the northwest. Is that what
you're seeing?

The extent to which DSS images are properly registered varies
quite a bit. 2" is a large error, but not abnormally so.

Just tried this, with an image downloaded from the site you
mention, and with one from Guide's built-in images from the second
CD, and with an image downloaded from Extras... DSS/RealSky Images...
DSS from Internet, and got "More Info" for all of them. Maybe
if you could e-mail me the offending image? (Also: are built-in
images displaying, and can you get "More Info" for them?)
