Hi,
2 nights ago I was guiding fine, 00:40 I changed target, sharpcap should have commanded PHD2 to stop then restart on target (I can't tell if that's possible in the log viewer?)

After restarting its like it couldn't find a guide star (I didn't have diagnostic images enabled but I do now), and when it did it would send a huge correction, any idea what's happened?

Log attached below

Also, last night I updated PHD2 and tried to recalibrate it wouldn't have any of it, I tried guiding assistant that also wasn't working, it was like my mount wasn't getting any pulses from PHD2 (when it was doing nudge the mount/star position on screen just wouldn't move). How do I check if my mount is receiving pulses? Is there an easy way to test? EQMOD itself could control mount ok

Setup: EQ6 Pro, EQMOD, first issue I've had like this. All balanced, no snags etc
