Simulate eyepiece view: Eyepiece View feature renders the view through the
eyepiece of various telescope types. Firstly, an input dialog is shown, which asks
you to select one of the visible FOVs to use as a FOV for the eyepiece view. The
user also has the option of trying to determine it from the image (accurate if
image has metadata, otherwise it will be random). After you set the FOV, the
"Eyepiece Field View" window will pop up. You can easily rotate the view using
the "Rotation" slider. You can also flip and invert the view to help match the view
through a telescope/camera. "Eyepiece view" tool can help you locate many
objects with ease, instead of trying to work with relative positions and relative
orientations. This is an important advantage, especially when you are star
hopping. Note that for getting best results, time must be synced with current time
in KStars, and KStars must be in horizontal coordinates mode.
