Especially Minimum motion. Given the short focal length I have read this minimum motion needs to be very small but not sure how small.
Also what dec algorithm do you use ? Resist or Low Pass ?
I have been messing around with my Starshoot Autoguider attached to my SBIG E-Finder. Bu getting very mixed results so far. Seem to be better off with unguided.
Was mucking about Sat night between clouds getting 2 min unguided at 900mm FL on the MI250 without guiding and getting perfectly round stars. Naturaly I was VERY happy with this, but wanting to autoguide on longer exposures so need to sort it out.

I always left the PHD default settings. When using 50mmFL though set your calibration steps to 2-3s. Other than that resist-switch. If you have loads of backlash in DEC try to guide against the drift, north or south and unbalance your scope slighty.
