If you select the Absolute tab in the Times area, you will get a listing of the 
image times.  (It seems like the server is slow to return the list of available 
times).  Select the time(s) you want and in the Location section of the 
chooser, put in
the coordinates you want as DD:MM (ex: 9:56 84:05) or decimal degrees (ex: 9.93 
84.08).

> e.g: San José / Costa Rica
> 
> 9°56? N 84°5? W

You can select the size of the image you want from the other controls in the 
chooser.

Check the Create Display button and select Add Source.  That will retrieve the 
data and display it.

To capture the image, use the View->Capture->Image.. menu.
