Rotate Mosaic in Plan Mode

svjim

Currently you can plan a mosaic in preview mode that you can both adjust the position of the frame and rotate it. Unfortunately, there is not way to do that within plan mode as the rotate feature is not available even for single frames. The option to rotate frames should be available in plan mode as it is suppose to be a planning tool. While you can create a mosaic in plan mode, you cannot rotate it. With my limited knowledge I would like to suggest a couple of possible ways to provide that capability. I encourage you to think outside the box in how this could be implemented.

If possible simply add the rotate feature to plan mode. I suspect that there are some reasons that I do not know exist for why this hasn't been done.
Add a feature to Main Camera where the rotation can be set and use that in plan mode for determining the frame.
Add a "Save" feature to the existing rotate capability in preview mode which saves the necessary rotation information that can be recalled for calculations later in plan mode.

Let me add one more suggestion on this feature. You already support the import of mosaics from telescopious, it should be a no brainer to create a CVS file in preview that can be imported into the plan or just automatically import that information.

Please ZWO add the rotate feature to the Plan Mode. It would simply the planning process. Especially for some of us that have limited visibility so we can plan our projects when we can't actually image.

My question to ZWO is , Why is there no rotate feature in the Plan mode? What your thinking behind this?

Thank you

Violetblue Do you refer to support electrical rotator in ASIAIR? if only the composition feature, is supported in PLAN mode.
Also our CAA will be released at the end of this year, the rotation feature of CAA in ASIAIR will be released at the same time.
Thank you for your support.
