Thread: Need ability to rotate moon pictures

    Need ability to rotate moon pictures

    I've been contorting my head to all sorts of positions to "see" the craters as depressions and not bumps.
    I was wondering if it is possible to have a control added to rotate the picture.
    IF this is a doable thing, I know my neck will appreciate it!

    Hi Dale, and welcome to CosmoQuest. At the moment, it's not in there. I'll talk with the programming team and see if it's something that we could implement. In the meantime, there is a tutorial on how to invert your screen colours here that could help.

    We also do try to rotate the images so they look like craters to most people. Ideally, the sun comes from the upper left. To make things simpler, we only rotate images if the sun is coming from the lower-half, but we could look into rotating in 90° increments instead of 180° on our end.

    Good to know about changing the Windows settings. I'll see if that's turns out easier than rotating my laptop. Thanks.

    We're talking now about adding this to a future version of the software, FYI.
