Hi all.
I am following a course of the Open University about Astronomy. They use Stellarium as main software planetarium. At a certain point they ask to analyze the magnitude of the main stars in M29. I am able to find M29, but when I click on the single stars I can't pick nothing, as if there is only an image and not the single stars. I am missing something?
(I use Stellarium 23.4 with Windows 10).
Thanks.

It may help to switch off DSO symbols, DSO images and aberration.

Try adding extra star catalogs from ConfigurationExtrasStar catalog updates. By default, when no extra catalogs are enabled, there are indeed only a few stars clickable in M29, all the others being only in the DSO image.

Thanks all. With your suggestions and a bit of trial and error I was able to select single stars in M29. I am quite new to Stellarium, so the orientation among the various layers, catalogs and visualization options is not easy at first.
