Hi,
Last week I found a video on how to use the Manual Rotator in N.I.N.A. \
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwpOO7CsD7U&ab_channel=PatriotAstro). This seems \
like very nice functionality to also have available in KStars. I think it should be \
possible to implement this functionality in KStars, as KStars/EKOS does already \
support rotators and already has Plate Solving functionality. In the video they also \
describes something about a special item in the scheduler, I know that is done \
differently in EKOS. As I don't have a automatic rotator and have never used the \
rotator functionality in EKOS, I don't know how that currently works.
Is there already such functionality availabe?
If not, is this funcationality already on the feature list?
I hope it will be possible.
I do have quite some C++ experience and would like to participate in development of \
this feature. I have created the Bahtinov Focus Assistent for KStars/EKOS in the \
past.
Kind regards,
Patrick
