<b>Temat:</b> Re: Simulate eyepiece view</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="auto">We removed the simulate eyepiece view feature in a recent version of KStars because most of its functionality is now served by the “Views” feature, and the HiPS and Image Overlays, in the sky map itself.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Here is a tutorial on the Views feature which is much more powerful than the previous simulate eyepiece view:</div>

<div dir="auto" style="font-size:inherit">However it works in the skymap itself. You can overlay the DSS using HiPS or Image Overlays features. You can save the sky image using the usual save sky image functionality. You can also rotate the sky map freely in
case there is a mismatch.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-size:inherit"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="font-size:inherit">Please let us know if there are any features from the old simulate eyepiece view that you think are useful and not possible with the new ways of doing things!</div>
