represent planets as symbols
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm interested in getting more fluent in recognising the astronomical symbols of planets.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option to replace Earth, Moon and planets by their astronomical symbol, in constant size irrespective of distance or brightness (in the current projection mode from the current observer position).
This would additionally be very interesting in solar system observer position to create diagrams similar to Heavens Above.
