Alas, I think its fair to say she's a "quitter" alright Greg. Peter B pointed out to me at AF you can pick what SNR limit you want to aim for.
But......if you're using PHD2 with Sequence Generator then SGP will automatically attempt guiding recovering if you do lose a guidestar (along with re-centering, refocus etc as programmed). So this makes the loss of guidestar a bit less problematic. Also possible to set up SMS/email alerts to warn SGP/PHD2 is in trouble and on the defensive as an add-in, but just as easy to have Teamviewer or VNC running if at your home site.
As an open source project it might be possible to re-program some of this. There are gurus up here that have dug into the code at times.
