Camera FOV in Starry Night ??

[beamish]

Is it possible to layout a rotatable rectangular FOV for a DSLR to try and improve composition ?

yes, but they need to be generated by creating a telescope and a CCD/Camera, and allow SNP to create the FOV. Those will have a handle on them so you can grab and rotate it...

nope... just add a scope, add a camera, the FOVs are created automatically for each combination.

Just done that but don't appear rotatable

there should be a small circle on the fov box that you can left mouse click on to rotate

Cheers, great hat Steve !

[SteveL]

have you enabled them in the FOV side tab?

the rotatable FOV, might be a feature of a later version of SN.

I use SN4 Pro and it doesn't seem to have that feature...

Cheers FP, I can't see it. I'll try SN 6 on the PC ( running SN5 on the lappy)

[beamish]

I added it to the FOV tab under CCD then checked it under the particular scope. It shows up in landscape format and rotates only as the in relation to the position of the scope. I can't rotate it independently . Like I said and as Ant suggested it might not be available in SN 5 ? It's SN5 Pro, the PC has SN 6 Pro Plus so we'll see.

Okay I've got the little circle in SN6
