Yes, my plan is to add support for rotation for 4.8. So even if there was no manual way to rotate the globe, autorotation in guidance/tracking mode would still be possible. ATM, however, I'm still having issues with jumpy behavior, so I'm holding back the changes until these issues are resolved. Once this is done, I'll be looking out for testers ;)

Greetings,
Bernhard
