Paul. I dont think the cam has anything to do with it, it all happens with the fits header after its downloaded from the cam, in DL.

I dont use CCDsoft.

I cant remember whether the PME has a direct connection with Sky, or through ASCOM, but anyway DL does communicate with Sky, it must, DL is connected to the mount through Sky, not directly.

Im pretty sure ASCOM communicates mount pointing data anyway, so Gemini should work the same way.

The nudging is calibrated with pinpoint thats all, I remember nudging worked on my Gemini, but I didnt use pinpoint at the time. Calibration can be done without pinpoint by an automatic expose/move/expose cal proceedure. I use pinpoint because its just one click to read the plate solve data and more accurate.
