Yes I just have the standard Los and use AN as pushto digital circles (in-fact I have just repaced the old control box with a newer Celestron one).
For this image I didn't use the AO7. Just auto guided with the ST7e through MaximDL 3. The corrections are generally 0.1 to 0.5 pixels.

When I do use the AO7, Maxim has to be initiated the camera as ST wth AO7, but I can't use the move controls for micro-slews. I have to shut down Max. and initiate without the AO7 for micro-s... So I find my field before initiating the AO7.

I also find that I get small amounts of elongation on stars with the AO7. I think I need to do some more callibration before each session with it.
I hope this makes sense.
