hello, I have just upgraded my license of Starry Night Software to Pro Plus 8, however I found after setting the FOV of my camera and turn the orientation to equatorial mode, the FOV is still aligned to local mode, when not aligning to celestial North/South, which I can't evaluate how the field of view framing my target when doing imaging, may I know anything I should set or missed? This version of Starry Night is suppose to facilitate imaging also, yet TheSkyX is every easy to do so without special setting. 

 

Thanks for input.

There should be a 'bulls eye" circle with cross at the 'top' middle of the FOV window.  Hover your mouse pointer over this circle.  When the mouse pointer turns to a double pointing arrow, left click on the circle and move the mouse (left or right) while holding left click button. This should rotate the FOV window.

Tried, it works! Thank you a lot. 

 

is it beside manually rotate it, there is no setting possible to have the FOV align with RA and Dec coordinates?
