Hi there, How do you go about orienting your camera to frame the photo as you'd like (vertical or horizontal) when shooting DSLR with T-Mount? I imagine there will be many shots I'd like to shoot vertically, etc. Thanks! |

| Remember, unless your filters rotate with your camera you will need new flats for each orientation. |

David Redwine: ouch! may be easier to rotate the image during processing instead of the camera. |

| For artistic composing and also to fit elongated objects into FOV, I would recommend a rotator. My TS 65 QUAD luckily have one integrated with the focuser. |

| The only caution I have found is that I have the WO rotator and it is quite thick. I discovered when I tried attaching the field flattener to it that the telescope could no longer reach focus on a DSLR because of all the extra length the rotator added. I think WO should have thought that combination through a bit better. The one David noted above looks much better because it is so thin. |
