Hi Alexander, Hi Larry,
Two different questions in your mail.
Bright star: perhaps one idea of your problem: in "Star display" dialog, verify that Bayer is not toggled off.
On my computer, centering on Deneb, I see it at level 2, but also at level 20, and at all intermediate levels.
Common name: Common star names are displayed through a .TDF. Click on "Toggle user datasets", then on "Common star names", click on "label", then "on", and choose the field you want too see them.
Verify also that in "star display" dialog, "common star name off" is not toggled on.
Bertrand
