Green circle displayed around each object

Hi, and many thanks for Celestia.

As shown on screenshot, a green circle is displayed around each object:

I searched, but didn't find how to remove this?

I think it's the first time I use Celestia on this laptop, so I can't tell what made this happen.

Many thanks!

Oh, those are the open cluster labels. You can thank or blame me for that...

Yes, you can disable open cluster labels in the "View Options" dialog.

Many thanks for your help! I don't think I shall blame anyone for anything on Celestia...

Well in fact, each of objects "Galaxies", "Nebulæ", "Open clusters", and "Globular clusters", are displayed with those green circles.

And to be honest, I don't see the purpose of these circles, so to represent these objects?
