Thanks Jasem. From my perspective, I'm just looking to be able to frame more easily in KStars, when I am planning my schedule and looking for targets. On my dual mount system , I have a rotator on a WO81 but not on my other telescope (an MN190), so I usually end up having to adjust the CCD rotation angle manually in any case, with the sequence of coarse adjust, solve, fine adjust. Part of my planning is seeing if I can get an angle that will suit more than one target in a night without adjustment. Roating the CCD will almost certainly need new flats, so I try to avoid it on any given night. So it is (1) in your list that is important to me, to optimise planning. (2) is more a case of trying to ensure that the captured image will match the desired framing. It might be important to others though, if they have a more automated setup..

Regards

Tim
