Chefgage Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I currently use sky safari a lot when planning my imaging sessions. One thing I like to do is to be able to show the field of view of my DSLR for a given lens size. This way I can see if the object will fit in that field of view. I have it all set up showing the fields of view of all my lenses, telescope eye pieces and binos. So I can just pick and choose which one I want. The problem is as you move the 'sky' around you cannot seem to be able to line both the constellation and the field of view rectangle. Is there a way to turn of the auto rotation of the sky so you can line them up (there is an auto rotate option but that does not do what I am describing). An example of the best I can line them up is shown. Trying to see if Ursa minor will fit in my selected field of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighty2112 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Try tapping top left corner of screen in Skysafari and change from Horizon to one of the other tions, equatorial, eclipitc or galactic views. Might give you a bit more freedom in moving things around how you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as though I could do with the camera rectangle staying still and then spin the sky or the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefgage Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Sort of figured it out. You can change the field rotation angle so this achieves what I was after doing. Edited May 28, 2020 by Chefgage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
