More detail:
From the Observatory window Zoom tab click on Options and you'll see an Overlay Image in the list. If you click on this it will overlay the selected (and plate solved) image on the displayed map. I find this useful as a composition aid.
In the Observatory window Telescope tab there's a Center on Image section. If you Calibrate using the PinPoint option you can right click on a point in an image and recentre on that point.
As David said, the ability to plate solve a previously taken image and return to that exact field is very useful. Unfortunately, the Image Center from PinPoint button crashes my Maxim so I have to copy and paste the RA and Dec manually.
Cheers,
Rick.
