Guys 

Great to get such a quick response , When I hit the wall last night I took the attached Snip of the page to show the error message , and to show that Ekos was using the guide cam and the guide scope .

I know the main camera and scope worked and had the correct FL etc as I used them to do the align sequence on M82 and after a couple of  iterations it was dead center .

Then I opened the guide routine and things ground to a halt . Like most of us ( I guess ) I have to put my setup away each night ( morning ) so to check the actual data behind ekos for the guide camera / scope and the main camera /scope  will have to wait for the  weekend  but Wouter has given me a steer on where I might have things wrong .

Interesting that my set up of the Cgem dx was good enough to get round stars from the C11 at F10  for 30 secs .
