Looks good,

so first target is a manually guided tracker/solver.

We probably will want/need a 'eye loupe' for subpixel placement of the
marker (other wise you have to do a major zoom in for each point) and
for examining how good/bad a marker is tracking.

There are two approaches,

Some are implemented in the viewport of the image at the mouse
location, like a true eye loupe (works well for marker placement)

Other have shown the area in a separate panel of the properties editor
(works well for seeing if a selected marker is tracking well).

I haven't seen any that allow you to have eye loupes of multiple
markers shown at once but that could also be useful/save the artist
some time.
