Adjusting "Sensor" orientation?

Post by Jeffc »

Is it possible to specify the angle of the Sensor as shown in the Falcon control panel?

After assembling the new Falcon today, of course the angle of the camera doesn't match the 0 degree position on the Falcon.

No problem, this is fine, as I can do a plate solve and then set the actual angle on the Falcon control panel.

So I did that... but If I switch to "Sensor view" the orientation of the box is off by 90 degrees.

A picture probably explains it better so I've attached a screenshot from SGP.

Its not a deal breaker, but it would be nice if the sensor could be rotated to match the orientation.
(I've only spent a couple hours with the Falcon, so maybe I'm missing something.)

thx

Thanks for the feedback/suggestion. We'll review how the sensor graph works.
