Is it possible to set the angle of rotation required prior to 1st plate solving so I can frame the target accurately ? The problem is, I have a 1" 183 sensor and with most targets, my setup doesn't leave me with too much area left to crop hence the rotation is critical to be within 30 arcmin, which I can easily & repeatedly achieve with NINA. With Kstars I can get the location right with the ASTAP solver but no rotation indicator or I don't know how to proceed. Without this when I setup over multiple nights my rotation could be slightly off every night for the same target which would be a major issue after stacking as I would need to crop a lot of the edges compromising the framing.

There is a FOV/rotation indicator in the sky map. It tells you the camera FOV & rotation. Now it doesn't tell you HOW to rotate to get your desired rotation, but you can rotate and solve again and get the updated FOV indicator that should reflect this.

Thank you I will give it a try. Say I have packed up night 1 and set up again night 2 to achieve the same location i can use an image from night 1 via load and slew and go back to the same target but how can I get the fov rotation close to my first nights fov ?
