I am searching online for specs to the camera/chip and how to

translate those into FOV, magnification, etc for use with the various

scopes to which I have access.

The FOV formula is already done for you and is listed on pages 37 and 38 page of the Manual (Select "Astro IIDC Help…" under the Help menu).

Also the "Analyze RA/DEC Tracking..." info you collected won't be much use unless you have rotated the camera so it's X/Y axis are aligned to the scopes RA/DEC axis, as is described on pages 16 to 18 of the manual.

You (and everyone else) should really have a look through the manual especially starting at pages 8 (Getting Started with "Astro IIDC" ) there's all sorts of information (how to use it, things to avoid, tips, explanations etc.).

Hope That Helps..
