I'm guessing that your plan object came from the Herschel Catalogue,  
which doesn't include position angle info. The NGC Catalogue does.  
Hence the apparent discrepancy. So it's not a bug in the app, just a  
shortcoming of the Herschel catalogue.

I can look at rewiring the Herschel catalogues to include that info.
