  Imaging a planetary, only the name, number, or designation is put into the image FITS OBJECT field. No more CT or MP.

As of the changes in ACP-1606 it's even worse. Need to isolate the Planet number, name or designation from both the CT and from the possible trailing stuff after the # Easy. Just use the contents of the Observation.Planet field!
