does this sound like a
problem with PHD guiding? with GPUSB and cable? with my mount?

appreciate your comments and will certainly check the cable

Not to be a broken record, but that problem you just described is EXACTLY the problem I had... Mine would calibrate E/W no worries, but then it would attempt to calibrate N, usually resulting in the star moving WSW, then it would go on to calibrate south, and make massive adjustments...

Wiggled the cables a bit, bang, calibrated and guided, was running 10min subs no worries.
