Cosmographer - save imported Traveller sector map as bitmap

I have imported a sector map for Traveller from travellermap.com and want to save it as a bitmap for use in FoundryVTT. The problem with this map is the hex grid. I think that I may have messed up the bitmap options in the save dialogue, because I was not able to align the map's grid to the one in Foundry.
What settings should I use to get a bitmap that has the same grid size (50) as the original map in Cosmographer?

By 50, I assume that is the size you need it to be in foundry? (the hex grid size in an imported traveller map in cosmograher is 1 parsec)
Which dimension do you need to be 50? Flat to flat or corner to corner? I am not a foundry user, so I have no idea how they measure their hex grids.
It is pixel, but neither in CC3+ nor in Foundry it says how this size is messured.
Well, since the map is 40.5 hexes tall, you can try to export it setting the height to 2025, just set the width to something ridiculously high, like 10000, and then make sure the crop image to aspect ratio is checked, this way the width will end up being whatever it needs to to fit the specified height.
This should end up with a file that is 50 pixels for each hex, measured by the hex height.
