Many Missing Stars With All Catalogs Installed

[atcz]

Expected Behaviour

With all star catalogs installed, there should be no missing stars in the magnitude 9-13 range.

Actual Behaviour

Many stars are missing from the Stellarium display when compared to the DSS colored display (Ctrl+Alt+D). I found 5 missing stars in the vicinity of M10, and there are many more in this area. I also found more around M107.

This is the Stellarium display with the missing star locations marked, HIP 82905 is at the bottom right:

Here is with DSS colored turned on:

This is the data for the missing stars:

Catalogs tend to be incomplete. Therefore there is the DSS layer in the first place...
