<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Firstly I
tried exactly the same thing that you typed (-90:1801:0.1) and I got the wrong visualisation

0:1801:01) and did not succeed either.<br>
As you can see in Test1.png the image seems to be shifted to the north by 90
degrees.<br>
Could that be corrected somehow?</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
