Lester,

Yes, it can be done. I believe you need to do some preprocessing on your 
star data to convert RA to degrees (which you wrote you do not want to 
do but is not difficult). I also guess you are aware that RA coordinates 
(or the x axis) have to be mirrored for use in geographical software 
because RA increases to the left, as opposed to normal longitude which 
increases to the right. It will probably be some work with the styles 
and proper scaling of point sizes to star magnitudes.

/H.
