I really haven't a clue to what is causing my guiding to drop off the midline , I've checked my balance , level , increased my {custom} sidereal rate from 0.5 to 2 . Last night it was actually doing most excellent at first but, then everything went to H---. I'm so frustrated ! I'm sure that of these days that I'll find the answer to my dilemma. There's a bright side to everything in astronomy , I've been working with sgp and can navigate through it , get centered on target with my camera, run a sequence , add events and it'll shut everything that is connected down and park my scope after a sequence finishes and I can enjoy my jealous boys for the remainder of the night . This is a big deal to them and it shows . This capture software is just awesome and a steal for the price Alanna paid for it. Here are some screen shots of my phd2 graph and any help to keep it from moving off will help me immensely. Help me to get this figured out HOGGERS

Can’t see an of your settings, but I’ve found that poor seeing has a lot to do with it. It does look like your polar alignment is off. What do you use to align?
I have poor seeing as well as being in Bortle Class 8 area, and I’ve found that using the pulse guiding works better than the ST-4. Others say they do t really notice a difference, but it may be worth trying.

Can't tell what is wrong, Ronnie.
Sometimes when my guiding misbehaves, I use to shut down PHD2 and restart it.
Then let it re-establish itself in the target area, and it would straighten out.

I use the polemaster Europa, I've worked on everything I and others have told me to check and still pulling my hair out and kicking stuff in frustration. Alanna is fed up with my "MANIC OUTBURSTS" over guiding and I believe I've got a new guide system coming either a new guide camera or a guidescope to go on the rings. Woohoo ! So, I've been running shorter sequences for the past week collecting and grading usable frames along with centering my target every 5-10 subs. I have to do what I have to do to get it done before my targets are out of my windows of opportunity.
