Lots of stars have entries in multiple catalogs. I noticed if I had both the Tycho2 and UCAC3 active for a FOV it would only put the Tycho labels on screen. Similarly if I had GSC-1.2 and UCAC3 it would only display the GSC labels. I suspect if all three were active you'd get the Tycho labels.

If you brought up the object list it would have them all, sorted by catalog, not RA+Dec.
