PHD2 looses lock on selected guide star.

[Bob Hughes]

Using PHD2 to select a guide star and multiple stars, guiding starts and is working well. However, guiding lock stops after a few minutes and then guiding resumes after one or two cycles. Looking at the guide star, it looks fine. So it's a mystery as to why guiding lock stops once in a while. Stopping guiding and selecting a brighter single star, lock seems to be working perfectly. 

So I guessing that I might have a setting incorrectly set. If any of you have experienced loosing guid star lock and have an answer as to why, please let me know.

Thanks,
