Yes, TheSkyX is properly set in CCDSoft and the Lodestar is plugged directly into the VersaPlate. I tried it with Direct Drive set in CCDSoft but no movement at all hence the move back to Camera relays. I then found an old thread on the Bisque CCDSoft Forum which pointed out a change in Calibration parameters when going from Camera Relays (= Calibration Time (secs)) to Direct Drive (= Calibration Distance (arcsec)). The thread suggested a number 5 to 10 secs for the Camera Relays but up to 150 arcsecs for the Direct Drive! My CCDSoft will only allow 60 arcsecs move but I will try this approach when next we see a star or two.
