I am interested in plotting stars using celestial coordinates (right ascension = longitude; declination = latitude).  Plots of these coordinates look superficially like some type of polar projection.
 
Is there some type of projection utilized by Mapinfo that can be used for plotting celestial objects?  Has anyone had success digitizing celestial data from these types of plots?
 
I have looked for astronomy links to Mapinfo, but have not found any so far.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
