Hi Harry,
the official way to do step 1 is to plate solve. To be honest that's too
involved to explain here. You may want to google for it. A poor man's
plate solve is something like this:
- take an image
- find two stars that are in opposite corners of your image
- use CdC to find the names of these stars
- use CdC to find the distance between these stars (click on one, then
the other, bring up properties window, distance at the bottom)
- use a paint program to find the distance in pixels between the stars
in your image
- do basic math to find your pixel scale
- do basic math to find your image size in arc minutes
Then enter this size into the Display->Finder rectangle settings dialog.
