Why are you using PHD. You would be better using PHD2 far better supported. Btw are you using dark frames or a bad pixel mask to eliminate the irritable pixel guiding syndrome.

I still use PHD1 and find it works just fine, so never bothered to change.  Check in the brain to see if Dec is switched off.  I can't remember the circumstances but it can switch off on odd occasions.

I can't use PHD2, I think, because my camera is old and I have enough problems with what I've got! I don't want to upgrade just yet. I did find that Dec had automatically been turned off. Thanks for your replies, all.
