In addition to what the others have mentioned, if you're curious about sigma levels to contour you may want to deliberately omit an atom from your structure (say an ordered oxygen in a good portion of the structure) - the height of the difference density peak would be meaningful and you then could roughly judge whether your other peaks are garbage or not.
