Right-clicking for info

Joe Lippencott Dec 15, 2003

What's the secret to getting info on an object by right-clicking.
It works OK for stars and planets, but I am having trouble with
diffuse objects (globulars, diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae,
etc.).
Just an example:
M1; I keep getting "Nebula Isophote". I turn off isophotes and I
get "Supernova, CM Tau". It takes many random clicks to finally get
the info to show for M1. I tried to use "Go to" and clicking on the
crosshairs, but that doesn't work any better.
Any hints?

Thanks
