Is it possible to make rotation of Corona Sun rotatable? Or rotation of sun more than 360 degrees.

You can use a daylight system for this purpose (in manual mode) :)
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Standart light sources have not full support yet. And sky seems to be separate from light sources other than CoronaSun, so you can't have bright atmosphare where the sun is. I think that rotation of CoronaSun is simplest way to do what I mean.

If you create 3ds Max native daylight system, set sun to CoronaSun and set sky to none and disabled, it will act exactly the same way as CoronaSun light, and it will connect to your CoronaSky in environment slot properly.

I've added option to go beyond the 0-360° range
