Hi All,
Got Greek! Under 'Label Parameters', The Limit Magnitudes was set for 6. Reducing this factor to 4 allowed the greek letters to show. The number of letters displayed depends on the true magnitudes in the constellation in view. That is, in Orion area, a setting of 3 creates terrific clutter in a 90 degree view but in Virgo, a setting of 2 (or 3) is needed to identify Gamma Virg by it's GL. Thanks for the help!
