	There a couple of useful plugins that may help with guiding through MaximDL. There is one to use multiple stars, and another to set the guiding parameters based on a plate-solved guider image. Both are on [http://winfij.homeip.net/maximdl/index.html John Winfield's plugin page].		There a couple of useful plugins that may help with guiding through MaximDL.

 * We were having problems with getting the Meade DSI to talk to Maxim DL - it kept giving errors saying that it got an error trying to link to the camera.  I eventually found the answer [http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/2995045/Main/2710730 here].  I had to invoke a slightly different version of that command, but what worked for me was just typing C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe "\Program Files\Diffraction Limited\MaxIm DL V5\dsiio.dll"   all as one command, with a direct path to the RegAsm executable.  After I did this, then MaximDL was able to talk to the DSI.
