This on the surface appears to work fine and reveals focuser (I use a Meade focuser via a JMI USB controller port) and fine nudge controls - but I think it screws with the pointing - I shifted about a bit - then all gotos were a few degrees off. I tried doing alignments again but I couldn't get past 2 stars - often only one.
Hmmm, perhaps it's the motor settings under the LX200 - it defaults to 60 HZ I think - maybe the SS2K uses a different setting - many variables to consider here - and plenty of ways to stuff up!
So I packed it in and will try again tomorrow when I'm a bit sharper!
Thanks all - stay tuned!
PS
Isn't GuideMaster Webcam only?

I am using a Qguide with guidemaster. Not sure what other cameras it will use.
Another option is to try POTH for nudging via ASCOM.
