My experiences are very similar to H with CCD commander.
My advice would be to make sure you have everything sorted manually before trying to use a sequencer. The usual sequence is,
Slew to focus star
Focus
Slew to target
Plate solve and correct slew to target
Turn on autoguiding
Take series of images
Repeat
If you can't do the above sequence repeatedly, without fail, then sequencing is going to cause you angst... You also need to be able to cope with plate solving and reacquiring a target after meridian flips (unnecessary with your LX-200).
You've got more software than you need. You also don't need to buy FocusMax 4 - version 3 is adequate (unless you feel strongly about supporting the author)
