Thanks - with all your help I can now do this. For the record:

\starttext

To insert the symbol for the planet Jupiter.

using Martin Vogels Symbole font:

\usesymbols[mvs]
\setupsymbolset[astronomic]
\symbol[Jupiter]

using Roland Waldi Symbole font:

\usesymbols[was]
\setupsymbolset [wasy astronomy]
\symbol[jupiter]

\stoptext

so I can get this bit finished...

Thanks - these will need the font metrics file installed, though (I  
think). A project for the future... :-)
