    I hope to refresh this thread a little. Need verification and comments on my observation with Stellarium. I took some screenshots shown below and tried to figure out if the application of camera view on Stellarium matches the live field view without doing it on the field. First SS (screenshot)...

    Astrophotography - Deep Space Objects (DSO)
