Hi,

pgstar only works on 1 star at a time.   
but it has a few new options to show a comparison curve in addition.
so in the case of the HR, you can set the pgstar control
         HR_fname = '' ! file name for extra HR data

then the HR plot will show both the current star and the data from the file.
the 1st line of the file has the number of points to follow.
following lines have x y pairs for each point, one pair per line.

this is a new feature -- so let us know how it works if you decide to give it a try.

Cheers,
Bill
