Tim created a new topic ' KStars FOV Rotation' in the forum. 2 years ago

Would it please be possible to have an interactive FOV rotation control in KStars? When I am planning a session, I like to look at the framing of the target and what will be its positioning on the CCD. While I can achieve this by the FOV editing options on the menu, the process is essentially three levels down in the menu and is slightly hit or miss - especially with "lock to celestial pole" selected. I usually end up with a "just about ok" solution to transfer to the telescope, rather than an optimal one. A simple mouse drag or +/- keyboard control would be good. Even an "Apply" option on the editing dialog would be better than the present setup, which requires having to back out of the menus before the change is applied.
Thanks
