[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 824865, member: 47518"] Thanks, BF. I see after unchecking the H-flip, V-flip, and EQ mount, a horizontal FOV was shown. To clarify my Q2: I reckon that the first view when Stellarium is open shows the scene that is eye-viewed from my place (on Earth). When the sensor frame is on, the scene becomes (zoomed in) camera sensor-viewed with the sensor frame rectangle at the center. Is what you see covered in the rectangle what you see in the VF or LV of your camera? If so, what is the zoom out % the rectangle size is set from the image size the camera shoots? (e.g., open a regular photo image in an editor like Gimp. It will show a zoom-out 25% or 50% image. Then you can zoom in to 100%) Certainly, the frame rectangle is not 100% of the image size. How much do we zoom in on the rectangle to view the 100% image but not bigger? I see your Stellarium is a different version of mine (24.3 Qt6 for Mac). Maybe Windows? I found my version is somehow crippled. You can see from my screenshots that the "tool" icon at the right top is cut off a little. Also see from your post the "sensor frame" dialog shows some << and >> buttons or clickable signs that do not exist in my version. I suspect the << and >> are for changing camera or lens (telescope)... Is that why I can't change the camera or lens in my version? Bummer! [/QUOTE]
