My Searches list.
FOV Profile
You can overlay a Field-of-View (FOV) indicator on the top of the displayed image. This
aids in target framing. By default, the FOV rectangle color is green with the top marked in
orange. The top coincides with your camera/frame top. Using the overlay helps to
determine exactly how l the target appears in a captured image.
All units are in arcminutes. 1 arcminute is 1/60 of a degree. For reference, the Moon is 30
arcminutes or half a degree across the sky.
When the equipment profile is running, the FOV for each connected camera is
automatically generated. You can simply select it from the dropdown menu to activate it.
Furthermore, you can add your own FOV indicators manually as illustrated below.
