Nathan,
Maxim has a habit of trying to use hot pixels as guide stars and the Lodestars usually have quite a few. The fix for this is to take some bias and dark frames for the Lodestar and build a master bias and master dark (Maxim will scale dark frames for the guider, so just make your darks as long as your longest guide exposure is likely to be). Put the masters in your calibration directory and Maxim will automagically calibrate your guider frames.
I'm not sure if this is your only problem, but it's one you're going to run into anyway...
Cheers,
Rick.
