Hi George
 
I don't know what is going on about the DSS. It was supposed to be a requirement for 1.0.0 but since Fabien has reduced his input , the program for release of 1.0.0 has been forgotten. I think there is some dificulty with hosting, Fabien had it all ready to roll, but I still have the Virgo version (0.10.3) that accesses the DSS so I  use this.  I have a suite of images that I have collected from our astro imaging group including some of mine and Trevor's of around 30MB with about 190 images. It contains many improved Messier's and better positions. It includes mosaics of Rho ophiuchus ,SMC and LMC. Large areas need to be mosaics as registration gets poor with fields over 1 degree. We have a very dark site in mid western NSW where we go every new moon to photograph (all digital and guided these days). I have access to some really good highres images of eta carina enhanced with H alpha that are very highly detailed. 
 
Barry
