Can you make user defined lines?

Cheers All,

:idea:

I've done a quick search and couldn't find a related topic so I'll post my question here. Is there a way to portray user defined constellation lines? Basically I'd like to graphically link stars I choose with a line (much like the ones used to connect stars of constellations?).

Thanks,

Use your favorite text editor to replace or augment the file \data\asterisims.dat
It's a structured list of star names. The format should be "obvious" when you look at it.
