These are good to look at. This is why phenix.refine outputs them.
Ligand-omit kick map may be a quick way of getting less model biased
residual omit map for your ligand.

This may may be useful if you want to prove something or in doubt.

I'm not quite sure what you mean - it's hard to discuss a map without
looking at it..
Pavel.
