Hello Patrick,

I see the same white square. Opening the fits file you state with an external
programm (IrfanView with FITS plugin in my case) shows the image of the open
cluster. Only after clicking many times on "decrease brightness" and "decrease
contrast" (via icons I have switched on in the toolbar settings) brings out the
image.

I think that for each of the images the viewing parameters are stored (Contrast
1500 - 10000 in this case) and that they are not adequate in this case.

For not displaying the images at all go to | Extras | DSS/RealSky Images | and
uncheck "Show images".
