I know only one way to add object to Guide.
Creating .tdf file and .dat file for it.

Create "New.dat" file like this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Star 6 10 20.125 +10 12 13.14 3.4 Comment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's just example, end it's 1 line only.

And create "New.tdf" file like this
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
file new.dat
title New Star
RA H 11 2
RA M 14 2
RA S 17 6
de d 24 3

de s 31 5
mag 37 4
note 42 10
resize .1
epoch 2000
text 1 10
label spaces
goto spaces
go to 1 10
nlines 1
sort 1
type 6;
~b 1 10 %s\n
~r 37 4 ^magnitude^ %s\n
~r 11 1 \n
~r 11 12 ^RA^ (^J2000^): %s\n
~r 24 12 ^Declination^: %s\n
~r 42 1 \n
~r 42 10 %s\n
field 0 1200

end

When you add another star, you need to change \data number at "nlines" line.
And you need to put new star sorting by Right Assension.
If it's hard to do, you need to delete "sort 1" line, then can put data
without sorting by R.A.

I think it's easy way to add stars with size of its magnitude.
