Well I tried rotating the camera on the end you suggest but my stars went off...they became a little elongated.
The only captures I made up here only 40 at 30 seconds before the clouds came and never left...and when I cheched the stars were off...so I put the camera back to where it was...I have been under a cloud ever since.
It seemed the captains wheel was the way to go but I cant budge it.
Scopey said use a soft hammer but I would like a gentler approach if available.
