It put up a fight, but eventually succumbed.
Choose your target.
Right click on one of the FOV tabs and change the angle to suit your the target. At the moment mine are set at 90, 45, 15, 5 and 2 degrees.
Click the "Edit" tab, and choose a resolution. You can fiddle with the "Mag" and "Star Size" sliders if you like. That image is 2048x1448 with mag 12.6 and size 2.5.
Click the "Mono" or "Color"(sic) icon. I found I had to click it a few times, but this is on my creaky old T40 with only 512MB. When the disk activity light stayed on for a while it had worked. I suspect if the image gets too big either the app or XP can't cope. I haven't got 2560x1810 to work - Gimp says there is no image in the clipboard.
Paste the clipboard into your editor of choice - Gimp, Photoshop, whatever.
Saved as PNG. JPEG isn't a very good choice for monochrome images.
