Ray,
Just looking at your guide log I noticed the following things that stand out and “may” contribute to your guiding operation and performance
1/ Your guide camera is the same as mine and has a pixel size of 3.75uM your guide log shows 3.8uM ??
2/ Your guide log shows no dark library or bad pixel map create or used ( Dsrks and BPM are recommended by PHD2 to eliminate lost guide stars or saturated stars or hot pixels )
3/ Min mov should match seeing conditions , your guide log shows 0.35 which seems a tad high , I’m usually around 0.18 min to 0.25 max for both Ra and Dec
4/ Guide camera is set to 1.5 sec ( maybe try default 2.0 sec as it may be a bit more forgiving )
5/ Generally your guide error looks ok

6/ What mount is your 8” f5 newt sitting on ?

****This latest image your stars look good to me !!

I’ll attached a few PHD2 docs I put together last year, they may be of some assistance ??

Cheers
Martin
