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.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply.
I believe the main scope and guide scope are compatible. It's just frustrating when it has a good guide star and simply won't hold it.
I'll have a look at the data files (when the weather improves).
Cheers.
