Help for PolarAlignMax/FocusMax

Hi Guys,

I have been using Focusmax with my robofocus unit and it works great, focuses in under a minute.

So, I thought I would try PolarAlignMax. When I load it it says choose telescope hub. I try and select Focusmax as the hub but it still cant recognise my mount/scope.

My setup is, EQ6 with SBIG camera connected to guide port. Copies of The Sky, CCDSoft up and running. Focusmax up and running. All this software works well for focusing but I want to polar align as well.

1) Can focusmax act as a software hub and somehow control the mount via the SBIG or am i completely misunderstanding and i need to buy a hardware hub?
2) On a related note K3CCDTools does not seem to work with SBIG cameras, is this just me, the demo version i have loaded or what?

On the off chance I connected a shoestring GPU USB into the mix, from laptop to guideport and disconnected the SBIG from the guideport but still no go.

Any help appreciated
Paul
