I think Freds info is from the TheSky6 - its the Nominal Position information.

Please note that TheSkyX requires an entirely new TPoint Plugin that you have to buy from Software Bisque - it does not work with the normal TPoint Application like before.
Note this is completely different to PinPoint

TheSky6 is not an ASCOM compliant application, you need a special driver called TheSky Telescope Driver.

Maxim DL connects via TheSky 6 through this driver - you set Maxim's Telescope config to operate through this driver.

I think you need the Professional version of TheSky6 for this to work.

OT - If you have a Paramount - you still need the TheSky6 operating even if you dont use TheSKy6 as your mounts control planetarium package - there is no other connection method to the P-ME without it - its runs an encrypted communication protocol !

There are some different configuration options - its a little confusing at first.
See here for clarification of the confusion !
