Available in line mode only. Actually, its about 60% complete. When I wrote did the deep sky plotting and colors it was loosely based on SA2000, then Uranometria, but I do quite like the Herard-Bobroth designs. I thought it might be good to offer a choice of object symbol designs, but as yet I havent got round to checking IP implications. I might take another look at this. I'm currently working on a few other changes as I had to generate a few monthly star maps and some charts for an article I wrote on the Virgo Cluster, and ended up throwing my keyboard at the screen because CdC can't do what I need it to do...

Is there a way to display atlas-style 'outline' symbols as an alternative to an image on the chart (i.e., Tirion-like, eg., a dotted circle to represent an open cluster, a 'four quadrant circle' for a globular, etc.)? I have tried unchecking the "Fill" checkbox on the object colors dialog, but all symbols remain color-filled. I have the UC3 catalog installed, so I really don't need to images for clusters since I have plenty of stars displayed. Turning images off shows a transparent, but still filled, symbol instead of an outline. I'm running the March 29th SVN on Vista. Thanks!
