Setting Up a Field of View Indicator in Starry Night

To set up Starry Night for FOV rotation support, you must define at least one CCD type FOVI. If you have more than one FOVI listed in the FOV tab, then only one must be turned on.

The FOV interface is Starry Night can be confusing at first. The path into FOVIs is via the Edit menu, Equipment List...

The key is to first add a Telescope, then add a CCD. You can add telescopes and CCDs from Starry Night's pre-defined database, or make custom ones. The FOV tab shows all of your defined telescopes, then under each, all of your defined CCDs.
