Dear Oleg,
I'm pleased to tell you that you can access SWIFT UVOT images in ESASky through our external TAP button (7th button at on the top left of the interface). If you click on the external TAP button, then select 'MAST' -> 'cubes' -> 'Swift', you'll then load up the metadata and footprints from SWIFT coming directly from MAST/STScI. You can download the data by clicking on the download button in the third column called 'Access URL' Please note that these data, contrary to those offered via the images, spectra and catalogues buttons, have not been curated by the ESASky team. Instead they are published by MAST and ESASky is accessing their TAP (Table Access Protocol) service. Currently it looks like the MAST TAP is only providing UVOT data.
Here's a quick screenshot:

Many thanks for your feedback and let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
Kind regards,
Debbie, on behalf of the ESASky Team
Dear Alvaro,
Many thanks for letting us know. We'll look into it and get back to you asap!
Best regards,
Debbie, on behalf of the ESASky team.
Dear Ron,
Currently this functionality you describe isn't available in ESASky. However, in our next release (this month!) we are adding a Grid that you can switch on and off on top of the sky. Here's a screenshot on the Christmas Tree cluster:
Let us know if this will be enough for you to work out your telescopes FOV.
Kind regards,
Deborah

Many thanks for your suggestions. We'll add these to our backlog and let you know once it's possible.
For some information, we'll soon (next few months) be releasing an ESASky python widget, in which you will be able to load ESASky into a Jupyter notebook and then visualise any catalogue (or subset) using astroquery, which includes VizieR!
Kind regards,
Deborah
