Hello,

I produce monthly star charts from my own observing lists with all
sorts of objects: galaxies, PNs, clusters and so on. To do this I
wrote my own TDF and defined a circle with the "type" tag. So I end
up with a star chart that shows 20 or so circles ...

I would prefer to display the object types with the standard Guide
symbols. Is there a possibility to read the object type from the
data file just like any other information like RA or text?

All the best

Ernst.
