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
