Simple Feature: asterisms colour selection

It would be very easy and quite useful to add a feature for the asterisms file which would allow a user to specify to use for a given line/constellation. Useful at least for those of us using asterisms for other purposes.

Sounds like you've got a bit of a sinister plan going there...?!

Who me?
Actually, I'm a total Celestia newbie, but it has struck a large number of nerves for me, and I'm quite excited about it. Seeing how many different projects it's suitable for. I'm blown away. For a few years I'd been thinking it would be awesome to do something vaguely like this with Hipparcos data, but am utterly blown away by it. I look forward to diving into the code once my term is over.

Why not allow different colors to be used at one time so that different sets of constellations as seen from different solar systems could be shown? Why not allow multiple asterism files too? Then there should be a option that shows all of the lines or only the lines that connect stars visible from the current position.
