Thanks - with all your help I can now do this. For the record:
\starttext
To insert the symbol for the planet Jupiter.
using Martin Vogels Symbole font:
\usesymbols[mvs]
\setupsymbolset[astronomic]
\symbol[Jupiter]
using Roland Waldi Symbole font:
\usesymbols[was]
\setupsymbolset [wasy astronomy]
\symbol[jupiter]
\stoptext
so I can get this bit finished...

Thanks - these will need the font metrics file installed, though (I
think). A project for the future... :-)
