To avoid hot pixels being chosen, open options in the guide tab and check simple auto dark, works everytime as long as you are not trying to ring your guide cams neck with high gain settings, better to increase the exposure time. To choose your own guide star simply click on the star you want to use. Remember Maxim does not like the guide star to be too close to another star. As for the guide cutout during download surely if your mount is in good order and properly polar aligned it should be capable of tracking a star unaided for the time it takes for a sub to download. If not you need to improve you mounts performance/setup.
