You want to be perpendicular to Kerbin's orbital plane. In orbit view, that direction is straight up and down on the screen regardless of the camera orientation. On the navball, that direction will also always be on the north/south circle, or if you like along a heading of 0 or 180 degree. The direction also happens to be perpendicular to the galactic nebula (the "Milky Way"). I find the easiest way to get the direction is to follow the north/south circle on the navball until the vessel is straight up on the screen or, if you prefer, perpendicular to the galactic nebula.
Hey Mike! I’ve been playing ksp for 8 years now, and I wouldn’t have understood how to play at all if it wasn’t for your videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'm very glad my videos have helped. Your support is greatly appreciated.
I was waiting for this.
great game, great videos. thnx
mike i did watch the knifes while doing the dishes
😂
Our food is doing dishes now! What a time to be alive
Nice vid. What was that alignment trick for the solar panels? I caught North/South line, and something to do with the galaxy in the background.

Thanks for the detailed response! I'll see if I can do it in practice.
it is called a resonant orbit
Ding-ding-ding. Thank you.
