There is a possibility to do what you want:
right click on mars. Left Click on Display. Left click on Options. Mark
Show features. Mark Label features and set Feature density to 300.
With this value you can play. Set it to 30 and only one or two features
are named. I used Bitmap #1 for my display.

Hope this helps and clear skies
