Right now the only star that gets labelling when in SC flight is the target star, and possibly the system sun if you have scanned it. For bad astronomers like me, it's pretty hard to quickly work out what the other stars are.
It would be nice if you could nominate a few "navigational" stars to stay labelled in SC mode, even when they are beyond FSD range and not targeted. For example, Sirius is an example of star you can see from Earth that, once it's identified, lets you instantly work out where you are looking in the sky (you'll soon spot Orion, Aldebaran, Canopus, Procyon etc). To go into the galaxy map and label a few prominent local stars in my little corner of the Orion arm, for use in visual orientation while in SC and/or Newtonian mode.
How immersive would it be to know the night sky of your home system as well as that of Sol!
