I am running Celestia 1.6.0 SVN r4542 on Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT graphics card (this is probably not relevant to my problem).
When I press Shift "u" or Shift "e" to turn on Globular Clusters and labels, nothing happens!
I modified the celestia.cfg file as instructed and copied galaxies.dsc and globulars.dsc to my /data directory.

Did some further testing -- when I look at "Render/View Options" globulars are on but I see nothing on screen.
Do I need to install an Add on package?

Here is my entry in celestia.cfg

DeepSkyCatalog [ "data/galaxies.dsc"
"data/globulars.dsc" ]

Did you properly modify the DeepSkyCatalog entry in celestia.cfg into an array!?

Like so:

I can assure you that you must have done something wrong... Do you want us to guess what it was? Why don't you display your relevant entries in celestia.cfg??

I told you that you must have introduced a TYPO!

Here it is:

DeepSkyCatalog -> DeepSkyCatalogs

Thank You. Did not notice that slight change in the readme file.

I made the change in the .cfg file and now it works!!
