Yes, you should only need the version that comes with Maxim.

Thanks Guys for all your info, I will try as you say Rob and let you know how it goes the first clear night we get, it has been cloudy for ages, after reading help files it seems the only thing I cannot do is auto focus for which I do need full version of Pinpoint I think.

I have never tried to use the auto-focus in Maxim. I have always used Focusmax. You do need the full version of Pinpoint to use the Aquire Star function in Focusmax but I have never needed it.

Right Rob will have a go with what I have, I do hope all goes well.
