focusmax tips

Hi all, after having played with the RC 10 and the moonlite both with Maxim DL 5 focus and Focusmax the other night -neither of which I got success at I thought I would trawl for tips.
The furthest I got with Fmax was a partial V curve then it stopped and said Star too bright- I was a bit confused about this because I used the find star button and then I thought it chose a star in the field then adjusted the exposure to maintain an appropriate flux?

The star was a small one on my planetarium software too!
Should I manually choose and centre a really really tiny one instead?
tips appreciated
Graz
