Fantastic John, thanks.

I've just read the AN Manual ( I know I'm a glutton for punishment) and setup one of the serial ports to load the Meade LX200 protocols at startup. I then went into the Sky and set the telescope details to LX200 emulation. Restarted AN, selected Link>establish in The Sky and Bingo!! Looks like it's going to work. The AN puts a cross hair on The Sky screen as soon as the link is established.

Thanks for the CCDSoft setup, I hadn't gotten that far yet. I actually posted over on the SBIG yahoo site so I would imagine I will get similar info from them.

Here though I get it much quicker.

One thing I did do though was untick that dam night screen option. I've used it before (on the Mapleton Observatory mount and computer) and it causes me nothing but grief. I think I'll stick to the red gel screen I attach using Velcro, at least it doesn't confuse my OS display options.
