CLICKING ON the virtual sky displays A PHOTOGRAPH, AND NOT THE OBJECT INFORMATION DIALOG BOX

ISSUE

I want to view information about an object by clicking on it, not a photograph.

RESOLUTION

Image symbols (that is, small graphical “bitmaps” that resemble a 35mm SLRs) on the Virtual Sky represent an object that has a picture. Clicking on an image symbol displays a picture of an object instead of the object’s information.
