How can we add missing stars to the catalog?
They show in the web version, but not in the downloaded version.
Much fainter stars appear, but not this at mag 9.9

Also, can the star data base for the web version be used in the download version? Magnitudes seem to be more accurate.

You can't. Stellarium (desktop) is based on Hipparcos, Tycho2 and NOMAD. See Appendix C of the User Guide. Switch on the DSS layer to see stars missing in the catalogs.

Somebody could create a new star catalog based on GAIA&Hipparcos. Somebody, are you there?
