Can SkySafari Pro 7 Render A FOV The Diameter Of The True Field Of View Of A Binocular? (Answer: Yes - Read On!)

I have Sky Safari Pro 7 on my iOS devices. I also use Stellarium on those devices and my PC. I want to render a target circle the diameter of the true field of view of my binocular devices. This is easily done in Stellarium however I want to use Sky Safari because it offers more detail than Stellarium. I've searched but haven't found an answer.

Can this be done in Sky Safari Pro 7?

    I must be dumb. The above link appears to begin in the middle of a procedure. I fail to find this in Sky Safari Pro 7. I want to set TFOV circles for my handheld binoculars so that I may point to a target and view the TFOV rendered circle. When I go to Settings-Telescope-Presets it wants me to choose a connection type first (handheld?), I try "Other". Then it offers a variety of Mount Types and Scopes. No handheld, no binoculars.

    Where to create rendered circles for binoculars? What to do?

    You’re just looking in the wrong place. From the toolbar at the bottom of SkySafari’s screen tap the Observe button.
    Next select My Equipment and add your binoculars. There is a list of binoculars that yours might be in or you can create a custom one. Or select Scope Display and then +Create FOV, then Circular FOV and create a name and also enter your desired FOV. Then go back to the link above and look at the Scope Display screenshots I posted for enabling FOV ring display.
