I think it's the drawing code. I now found the stars. They are invisible, but 
I can attach a label to them and see their details.

I'm using KStars 1.5.3 from KDE 4.3.2. Is there any way to build just a new 
kstars from svn (ideally using the libs I have installed from rpm) without 
building a complete new KDE?

I have attached the photograph with the missing stars marked (the marked group 
in the center is M29). There might be more missing stars, but I think I found 
all that are clearly visible on the photograph.
