What do I need to change to get it to consistently dither?

Don't use APT but with Nebulosity and the PHD server running. You set a maximum offset for dithering. That take sonly a few seconds to bump the mount out of range. Once it's reached it guides again then set a 10s time out before taking the next subs so guiding settles. Maybe there is a communication issue between PHD and APT?
