Stellarium won’t consult a specific survey

[RandyF904]

In Stellarium I want to include a star listed in survey 2mass6x. How do I do that? User guide indicates that in sky view that survey would show. No joy. And typing the coordinates into the search tool, nothing.

The HiPS surveys in Stellarium are only raster images, no object catalogs. You cannot identify stars by number or such.
To see the HiPS rendered, you need to select it in the HiPS dialog (User Guide 4.4.7) and then activate the actual HiPS drawing. You may need to enable the corresponding button first (User Guide 4.3.3).

I am a little perplexed. I am doing research to help someone considering a potential exoplanet. More information is here. https://exofop.ipac.caltech.edu/tess/target.php?id=180672438 It is a variable star. My plan was to identify it in Stellarium and slave my telescope to it, completing my research. More information is here. Is there anyway Stellarium can help me?

Exoplanets are listed and searchable in the Exoplanets plugin.
