There seem to be a couple of patterns to the ticks. Not everything has them.
1) where an object has more than one name - NCC4755, Kappa Crucis cluster, Jewel Box
2) where the object named by the label might be ambiguous so as to identify the correct object

IN many cases ticks are still used in areas with sparese DSO population, when the label is alredy right next to the corresponding DSO. IMO it would be a much cleaner and more user friendly map without such over the top use of ticks. In populated areas it is necessary, but not for every single object as labels can be placed right next to a few before room runs out.
