make a sphere at the centre of the orbit (0,0,0). Then move it to
(10,0,0). Now i want to make multiple copies of it rotating arround the
pivot at (5,0,0). What do i have to do to set the centre of rotation?
Seems to rotate always around (0,0,0)
Sorry for boring you...

Think, i got it. I have to set the local coordinates of the sphere to the
pivot. then i can trigger the radius by setting the normal coordinates of
the sphere (undoing local coordinates). And then, using the orbit rotate
function in the duplicate object tab.
Right?

Yes. The Duplicate Dialog always does this. You need to move the
original to 5,0,0, add it to a group, then also add the copies and
make them orbit. Then translate the group out to 5,0,0. That will
result in a circle of objects from 10,0,0 to 0,0,0 in diameter.
