to Open PHD Guiding

I use a Celestron CGEM and 50mm guide scope with Orion Star shoot.

I get good polar alignment with Sharp Cap, and then I try PhD2 to fine tune it with drift align, but I just make worse. It seems that the adjustments to the mount are just too small to allow the fine tuning.

Any change I make to the mount seems to push it too much in the other direction.'
