I like to use Sky Safari to show different FOVs on an object and choose how I’d like to shoot it. Sky Safari has a “Double Tap to Rotate” feature. Simple double tap the screen and you can rotate the view without having to go in and out of the settings all the time.

I love the feature but I can’t find a way of picking with one I want to rotate. Anyone has a clue ? Also if there’s a way to quickly set it back to 0 I’d like to know because I haven’t found one and frankly it’s almost impossible by using the rotation.

It looks like it does it on the display that is at the bottom of the list. In this case it’s on 545-FMA135. I hope it’s not the only way because it is quite annoying having to go back to settings every time.

Sky View Window
I find the Sky View window on an image to be very useful. I see that RA is sometimes in hrs/min, and sometimes in degrees. Is there a setting that I can set in order to have Sky View show RA in Hrs/min? Jim -
Sky Safari software interface settings potentially similar to Sky View configuration.
