I set up my camera/lens view (Z8+MC105mm) in the program and started to play it around. Took some screenshots shown below:[ATTACH=full]410982[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]410983[/ATTACH]The Ocular view of Venus[ATTACH=full]410984[/ATTACH]Q1: The first pic shows the FOV (the red rectangle) of my camera/lens. Why is it positioned at an angle instead of horizontally? Q2: Then I started to zoom in until Venus became large but still focused. Beyond that point, Venus image started to OOF. Can I assume the latest zoom that keeps the image sharp is when the actual image shot by my camera/lens is viewed at 100% scale?Q3: I had hard time setting up my camera/lens view in Stellarium where I added two cameras and three lenses in the "sensor" and "telescope" sections (Tool icon at right-top) as I read online. There is no "set" or "save" button to finish the setting. Then I clicked the "sensor view" icon at the right-top, and it showed an FOV for the stock camera/telescope, even though I had highlighted my added camera/lens. After numerous trials, I thought all the stock cameras/sensors I do not use, so I removed them all and all left are my two added cameras. Then I started the camera view again and it showed as the first screenshot stating my camera/lens at the right-top corner.  However, I didn't remove all stock telescopes and lenses but with one of my added lenses highlighted. More issues, from here on, there is no way to change either my cameras or lenses for the special view (unless I remove one of my cameras and/or two of my three added lenses). How do you effectively set up your own camera/lens view in Stellarium without all these nuisances?  Thanks for your help.</blockquote>
