Hi Owen,
In the DBPS dialog, under the Constellation section, there's an option to search within some number of degrees (or min or sec) that you can select using a Designation Search. Would that accomplish what you're looking for? Pick a star or galaxy in the middle of the head of Hydra & set the search radius as appropriate.
Hope this helps,
Phil S.
Edit: Here's an example of a search for multiple stars within 3° of a star near the middle of the Hydra's head: [attachment=2528]
Does this accomplish your goal? This technique should work for other types of objects, both as targets and as anchors for the center of the search. As Greg mentioned in an earlier thread, you can keep adding objects to the search result list & build up an OL with multiple types of target objects in it while keeping the same center object.
This looks like a cool feature that I've never explored before.
