Set earth rotation axis

[Enki Goodman]

Hello everyone i wonder if there is a way to set the Earth rotation axis. 
Maybe there are some settings to tweak or by scripting it.
If anyone could pint me in the right direction would be very apreciated!
Thanks for the help

The Earth's axis is in its right place. You cannot change it without changing the program source code.

In a sense, that changes with Precession of the Equinoxes.
I set Stellarium's date to Year 1 and I see:
Polaris - Alrucaba - Cinosura - Cynosura - Tramontana -
    ...
RA/Dec (on date): 16h38m34.81s/+46°56'57.3"

(I haven't checked the numbers.  I trust they're correct.)

you can display the point(s) where the Earth's rotational axis points by checking the radio button "Celestial Poles (of date)" in the menu "View" -> "Markings". 

@dev team: unfortunately, we don't offer an opportunity to increase the cross size, don't we?

Why is not? You can do it via GUI in Markings tab
