It seems to open a new maxim so you'll have 2 on the screen. If the first has a connection to the camera the second will fail to connect to the camera. That's the way com seems to work. I haven't turned any camera coolers on either. I'm not sure if moveaxis is implemented in poth or if the .net assemblies for poth are inside the program. eqmod is a hub anyway. Also I altered the rate range to be from 15-300. 1 degree a second was a bit quick

It's overcast here so I can't see if it works.
[edit]
I got it now. It's only starting a second maxim when I run it inside the debugger. Run the installed app itself and it latches onto the currently running maxim
