thanks for the idea, I have run with FreeBSD-10.1 and latest xorg and vt:
In each case I switched off atmospherics and horizon from the view.
1. stellarium 0.12.4 seems to show everything, and zooms in nicely
then installed back the later pkg to try that:
2. stellarium 0.13.1 runs, can zoom in fine on galaxy images, sun, moons and
planets, but nothing shows up when it is less than a pixel.Notice that Moon and
Spica are close at the moment, zooming Moon is ok, as it's always at least a
pixel in size ~but Spica never shows as a bright dot, but lots of zoom gives a
'foggy ball'.
It is as if the problem is "what does qt show when a bright object is smaller
than a pixel?"
As per your suggestion I have attached the two logfiles.
cheersGraham

So, you have spotted a difference?
1) Moving from Qt4 to Qt5 brought a huge change.
2) It is our favorite FAQ since 0.13.0 is out:
https://answers.launchpad.net/stellarium/+faq/2570
3) I am surprised the Radeon driver for this modern iGP does not like the
GLSL1.3 planet shaders. As always, we could get a bit more info with a
logfile.
