Because of the length of my refractor, to avoid any collisions I'm going to have to limit my rotation on my WR3.5 to between 0 & - 90 degrees.   It's not a big deal, as I can do any other necessary rotation in software.   However, Nina's camera rotation only moves from 0 to 360 degrees, no minus 90 option.   How do I get NINA to know the camera's rotation angle?

Thanks!

-90deg = 270deg

Or set your -90 position to Zero and then limit 0-90.

I am trying to frame the Dolphin Head Nebula. I am not able to see how to frame it in Telescopious or NINA. I see the bright star but no outline of the nebula. I have an Askar 500 so will have a 500mm FOV. Any suggestions on rotation and coordinates....
