re WTD PHD settings for g/scope

At the moment I use an Orion SSAG (until I get a Lodestar) and with its 1.14.1 version PHD software, setting the calibration in PHD, is a royal PITA.

I mean how many times does one have to go through a 60 second calibration period, only to see a message coming up... 'Not enough RA movement in star to calibrate on' or words to that affect. Does the star have to 'dancing' in the FOV for the calibration to work or what? On that night we had 10/10 seeing so we can't blame bad seeing.

The g/scope I use is a Konus 5" F8 which sits on a C14 fastar which is bolted to a new Titan 50 mount.

So to this, does anyone have any settings I could try to get this Orion SSAG to work with PHD and a 1000mm or longer g/scope under average seeing skies of 8/10ths?

Thanks and appreciate any help.
