Next to "Display|Data shown for globulars is "Auto" with label checked.",
what is the color of the box to the right? Click that box and choose your
preferred color, your color might be set the same color as your background.

Also, when you want specific information about a DSO click the screen 'on'
the lower Left of the DSO designation. In the case of M13, left click the
lower left leg of the 'M'. HTH...joe :)
