Question about Sci-Fi HDRI

I picked this up on sale the other day. When I apply an HDRI, it's much bigger than the ones I normaly use. For the below space image, I made the dome finite and zomed out. When I loaded the ship I had to drag it a signiicant distance forward.
When I tried to use one of the HDRI's as a back drop for a battle on an astroid, I couldn't figure out how to make it smaller (so I could get more of the HDMI in the image) without messing up what I had already set up (figures and props). I played around with the dome controls in the "Render Tab" but couldn't figure it out. There is still a lot in DAZ that I still need to learn. Any help would be appreciated.

The dome is 360º so you can only get in view what is seen through the lens, it can't see behind :) The Finite Dome is set at a radius of the finished size. The scale setting at 100 is 1 metre, if I remember correctly, and the Radius is the Radius setting times 1 metre and then x 2 to get the diameter of the dome. If you make it small enough and move the camera back far enough you can see it like a sphere with the HDRI filling it and the HDRI in the background on the Infinite Dome. I hope that makes sense :)
I have a bad headache so I may not be getting it right now. It appears that if I want to use one of these. I have to set up the camera first before I set up the models.
