OK, I started with an empty obs database and imported your skymap  
file. I then created a new plan and dumped the 400 objects in the  
Herschel 400 catalogue into it. NGC 40 was marked as observed and  
highlighted.

I then downloaded the Herschel club user-contributed plan. Ditto.

Something mysterious is happening. Can you send me a copy of the  
"offending" herschel plan? What OS are you using?
