Include preset settings in Eyepiece View for Dobsonians and Refractors
Including two preset settings in Eyepiece View that attempt to reproduce the exact orientation of the field as seen through refractors without erecting prisms, and through Dobsonian telescopes that have a focuser on the side. These presets are meaningful only when KStars is in Alt-Az mode (using Horizontal Coordinates) as of now, but should be easy to get working in both modes by including the equatorial-to-horizontal contribution to rotation. The Dobsonian setting has been field-tested using an Obsession telescopes 18-inch which has a focuser on the side. The refractor setting has not been field-tested. The Dobsonian setting will not work out-of-the-box for Dobsonian telescopes that have a focuser at an angle (this is usually the case with <= 12 inch Dobsonians).
