Thanks Mark, it's a QSI683 with the 3" Wynne at the moment. I only went for the Barlow because I'm going to try some time-lapse planetary imaging through it.
I've got the most recent copy of autoslew, but only recently has Win 10 taken to updating the FTSI USB drivers. I had a year while I was using this mount with my 10" Meade without a single drama. Typical!

Which version of Autoslew are you using? I don't use W10 - W7 is safer - but I understand that the driver problem has been fixed .... others, though not everyone, had similar problems with W10.

Regarding the Barlow corrector, if you are using a 16200 size sensor or larger, you will need to crop the edges - it only has ~28mm image circle. I have managed to push mine out to ~35mm by fiddling the backfocus, but focusing becomes a bit of a nightmare!
