Stellarium v10.3 allows me to Search (F3) for NGC 4372 and centres on the object but there is no detail. Any ideas on why this might be?

Yes, I've had this. Stars are straightforward, but I think many of the other objects require an image to see something on screen. However, Stellarium does know their location - it just cannot show you anything there! But it helps you work out the local starfield to help your starhopping.
Stellarium experts??
The various images in the threads and on the net show you its location.
I'm fairly sure it is shown in Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas. I happily recommend this atlas to beginners anyway.
