Your best option is to go maxim to maxpoint to
ascom temma driver to mount. Then
X2 ascom connect the sky to maxpoint. Maxpoint will hold the pointing model and the ascom temma driver has a park function to preserve it between sessions. You should also be able to pulse guide from maxim through the ascom chain to the mount or from PHD to the mount via maxpoint.
If you have a dome then it should go from maxpoint to poth then connect poth to both the ascom temma and the ascom dome driver.
I do not know how thesky and maxpoint get on, but you do need to use the ascom temma driver to get a park option. I have seen some comments around patches in the X2 connector source code to fix maxpoint problems but didn't take much notice as to what it fixed.
I find pointing on my tak is fine without any software aides so long as alignment is good. I guess your pointing isn't that hot? I normally gun barrell the mount at a star, sync to that star in the sky then take a pic and pinpoint it in maxim and resync to the plate solved location. After that it's pretty good both sides of the meridian.
