Hi Meinolf,

you are right, if you mean the globular clusters from the "Go to ...
Globular clusters" list. That's really strange.

I' ve set the "globular clusters" "on" and everything is working perfect
with the globular clusters of the Messier and the NGC/IC catalogs, but the
globulars from the "Go to ... Globular cluster" - list (e.g. "Terzan 6")
will not be shown before I choose level 6.

About your printing example:
Open the object selection box, set "globular clusters" to "fixed" and enter
the magnitude of 12.0. Set the "Messier" and "NGC+IC" objects to "fixed" and
magnitude 12.0 too or turn them off, because if they are set to a fainter
magnitude, globulars with Messier or NGC/IC numbers fainter than 12.0 will
displayed too. Now you can choose any chart level, the magnitude will not
change.
To print the globulars from the "Go to list", choose a level above level 5 -
the only solution this time.

That's not really helping, maye Bill can set things right.

Clear skies,

Oliver

'on' the globular clusters, it still depends on the scale of my chart, up to
which magnitude the globulars are shown. So, 'on' is similar to 'auto' here,
although the limiting magnitude will be higher in the 'on' mode. But IMO
'on' should mean showing all objects of the selected type independent of
their magnitude. Am I doing something wrong, or is this an intentional
behavior?

sagittarius showing ALL globular clusters in this area, how can I do that?
And how can I show all globular clusters up to a given magnitude, say 12.0?
