A temporary overlay will appear showing the direction of north and zenith at the point, and displaying the angle they make with the vertical in a counterclockwise sense. The orientations of zenith and north will update as you rotate the sky map. Letting go of Shift or the mouse button will stop the rotation operation. As you pan the sky map or focus it on different objects, the rotation you set is retained as an offset from the reference direction. The reference direction is north when using Equatorial Coordinates and zenith when using Horizontal Coordinates. As a reminder, the reference direction is solid and brighter in the temporary overlay. For the two common orientations of erect and inverted, the rotation can be set / reset using the <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guisubmenu>Skymap Orientation</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu.
