Finally I found if you go into the Parallels Desktop -> Preferences then there is a section for USB prefs, here you have the option to connect any new USB device to the active virtual machine, and Bingo, plug in the Neximage and it is immediately detected by the windows VM, and you're away.
Yeah I have done that a while ago. VM software is fantastic. I installed XP because that was sufficient enough to run the Celestron software, Vista eats too much RAM!
