Space Forum / Amateur Astronomy / September 2005Messier Labels for The Sky V
How do I get the 'M' labels for Messier objects in The Sky V? I seemed to have turned on all the label options one would need, but nothing. Common Names with Messier checked under Setup Labels.

But what would human thought have achieved if we could not see the stars?" -- Jean Perrin Web Page: <home.earthlink.net/~mtnviews> Do you have the Messiers added in your Sky Database Manager? Select Data -> Sky Database Manager... If "Messier Objects" is not there and checked, you need to add it.

Common >>Names with Messier checked under Setup Labels. Yes, it's selected. Perhaps I need to have the CD in the machine? I'll try it. >> Do you have the Messiers added in your Sky Database Manager? >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Yes, it's selected. Perhaps I need to have the CD in the machine? I'll > try it. It made no difference whether the CD was there. It looks like the M objects all appear as blue circles. Maybe something else is overriding the settings. I think I had this problem once before, but certainly don't recall how I fixed it. SignatureWayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

Select View -> Filters You have various things that should be checked. For example, "Mixed Deep Sky".

I have planetary nebula checked, for one, and when I look at M57 in Lyra it just shows a blue circle w/o any name. The name and label appears in the usual info box when I click on the point, as expected. SignatureWayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
