There is no direct way to display the center view, which is your current pointing direction but you can open the script console [F12] and execute the following to display the desired information:

core.debug("Alt="+core.getViewAltitudeAngle ()+" Azi="+core.getViewAzimuthAngle ());

or for RA, Dec

core.debug("RA="+core.getViewRaAngle ()+" Dec="+getViewDecAngle ());

For cursor location, only when you click it will select the closest object and display its Alt,Azi and RA,Dec.

Can you help with this problem?
