In that post you suggest that
"It also pays to have the mount connected through the telescope window as this will supply all the info to maxim and you wont have to use the manual calibration settings and scope dec is automatically read as is pier flip etc so you do not need to recalibrate if you move to a different target."
I assumed from this that I should use pulse guiding through ASCOM rather than the guider relays. Rereading it, I guess you simply meant that the mount should be linked in via Maxim but that autoguiding is done through the relays - D'Oh!
Your earlier post has been extremely helpful - thanks for that.
I'll try again via guide relays.

You just use "telescope" in the guider settings menu:
Camera control>guider settings>autoguider output control via>telescope.
Calibrate once and forget it until you change something, eg camera orientation. If you don't change anything from one night to the next, since Maxim remembers your settings, recalibration is not necessary.
