Greg,
I was a long time user of PHD when using a DSLR and worked perfectly.
When I shifted to a CCD camera I have used MaximDL ever since and have not looked back.
Like mentioned before its not the best tool to be used by beginners.
CCDSoft and the PME have a guiding interface called Direct Guide, for which you dont even need the Guider cable from your camera to your mount, all the guide correction signals are transmitted via USB. One less Cable to deal with.
Personally I have never used it as I use Maxim so I cannot comment on its performance.
Maxim have since also built a similar interface, I think they call MicroGuide or something like that. With this I have had mixed results.
I still use a dedicated guider cable though.
Cheers
Mark
