Steve,
I’m not sure, but if you can’t get PHD2 to guide for you, you will probably have the same or similar problems with other software.
I use PHD2 and Astroart for guiding my spectrograph which requires locking a star image in a 20 micron slit gap for at least ten minute subs with a C11 at f10.

You may need to look at the PHD2 data files and see what the problem is related to. It can be the choice of guide scope and guide camera to the stability of the guider set up.
The good news is that PHD2 works for thousands of users with different telescopes, mounts and cameras, just takes a little analysis and work to be successful.
The PHD2 forum is active and very supportive.
