PHD version 1.7.0. I'll have a look at getting in contact with Tom.

CCDSoft I have discovered is working, but I have perhaps always misunderstood the calibration times. It says calibration times are in "sec" which I took to mean seconds but perhaps they're arc seconds (if there's a difference). Thing is, if I put the calibration time up at 300 instead of about 10, what I'd use on my LX200), it "works" - last night it didn't get a good calibration, but that's my fault for a shocking "plonk it down alignment".

For the coming astro camp next weekend I'll just stick to CCDSoft and my manual calibration, if a proper calibration doesn't work down there. I got some well guided images last night, so that's great

Roger.
