I use an LX-modded webcam on a 300mm-focal-length f/4.5 lens. I had trouble with PHD for a while but it's a lot better now (maybe one bad exposure in one night). First of all, get the latest version of PHD. Then, keep the frame rate to 5fps and the exposure at 1 second (or maybe 2 seconds, I usually find a guide star by repointing the lens in its rings). Auto Exposure OFF, Auto White Balance OFF, Black & White ON, as you have. The parameter to play with to avoid dropped frames in PHD's "brain" is the "LE read delay", I think mine is set to 12.
