Sky X integration with Maxim Dl 5

Last night got the PMX up and running with a manual T point run (easier with my horizons, -anyone disagree they should have answered an earlier post then!) got 80 odd points using Sky X to select and calibrate, but watching the star via Maxim DL camera control, seems to me the software for SB control on the camera (QSI) was a tad slower than using Maxim looping a 0.7 lum so every time I moved I could actually see the star slew and then come into position.
I then got really ambitious and fired up the ASCOM DOME then connected everything and bloody hell! it worked! MAXIM + PHD +SKY X , also running stellarium at the same time.
Tried to get a bit more ambitious and Astrotortilla didn't work.
Bugger!
Apart from the clouds would have been a great nights run out for the PMX + etc.

Nice work if you can get it
Cheers
