Seeing as we are discussing PHD2 I have a question. I have used PHD2 a number of times and it seems like fabulous software and its free!

But it also seems, unless I am not setting it up well, that it will drop out easily if the guide star SNR falls too low and stop autoguiding.

I am used to CCDSoft where the guide star is locked on and even with clouds it can easily reacquire if your mount is well polar aligned.
PHD2 seems eager to quit. That means a lot of potentially lost images from a night if a few small clouds come over early in the evening.

How do you find this? Is there a setting to reduce this quitting effect?

At the moment I would describe PHD2 as a quitter!

Greg.
