I was referring to existing wide field images that I have taken (pre ST). So I have an image on screen in an image viewer. The image is presented in landscape orientation (as would normally be the case). Then I try to use ST to match the orientation of the image.
The problem in this case is that while the camera FOV rectangle can be oriented at any angle, the image in the image viewer remains in landscape mode. So you are trying to visually match something in landscape to something that could be at any angle. This can sometimes be quite difficult and time consuming to achieve.
Better would be if it was possible to keep the FOV rectangle in a fixed orientation (ie landscape) and rotate the star field around the centroid of the rectangle. I guess it is possible, but perhaps not viable to do.
Cheers
