I heard back from Sam at ZWO re the driver issue i raised, i don't think he understood my question because he just asked if "i visited ASCOM".
Greg the test shot will have to wait, the cloud is back tonight and it going to rain tomorrow. However, i will be ready tomorrow night if it clears by then. With the moon out of the way all the Sag nebulas will be available.
I got a powered USB extension from Jaycar and it worked really well whereas non powered USB extension cables failed.

All part of the fun!

Greg.
