Interesting. I wonder how CdC decides to display them at all if there is
no magnitude information? I agree every drawn object should have an
optional label.
Maybe this is related to the odd behavior when you search for an object
that is too dim for the current field of view. It'll show the object
label and when you click on it it says it's not visible, zoom in. It
should simply show the information on the target. I mean I searched for
it, CdC identified it and I clicked on it, it's pretty clear I want the
information you CdC has it :)
