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.

That's interesting. I thought the callibration time box was not active when using direct drive as it seemed to do the same thing everytime no matter what I set.
