Object marker glow

In this attached view of ISS some of the component parts are identified by a very bright blob. The range is quite close and a bit of a nuisance. Is there any way of turming these blobs off. They also show up on other objects like the moon and planets but always at a much greater distance. (In the 2 basic render paths they are not displayed.)
Thanks to the wonderful Earth V Texture, cloud V Texture and of course the immense, in all senses, ISS model.

Edit ISS.SSC and replace all occurrences of
Class "spacecraft"
by
Class "component"

or replace
Albedo ...
by
Albedo 0.0001

Thanks Selden.
I've tried the spacecraft/component switch and it works perfectly.
Just a couple of observations:-
1/ Linuxman's ssc files do not use any albedo directives that I can find. So I haven't tried that method.
2/ I have one remaining blob that I need to track down. ( I've checked all 4 ssc files to replace spacecraft so I guess it is some other object definition).
But thanks once again for a fast and effective solution.
