Found the problem.
The LX85 ended up in high precision mode after a softeare update a while back. I left it like this due to other things that needed sorting.
Switched off the high precision mode and it now works from kstars. I did switch to the LX200 autostar driver which appears to have few less options but it still works. I will try the classic again.
Thanks for your help.
Just need to sort out the 8/12/16 bit camera operation then I might be able to take a picture.
