Dithering has worked for me for a while. However something has changed and I cannot get dithering to work.

If I select a plan with dither turned off, the plan will complete just fine and PHD2 status will stay "Guiding" the entire time.

If I turn on dithering and start a plan, I immediately get a status of "New Server Connection" on PHD2, and after the first image is complete, the PHD status changes to "Paused" and stays that way forever pausing the plan totally.

The "New Server Connection" has to be a big clue as to what is going on.

Any help appreciated!

In the Gear tab, click on Guide and in the popup window make sure that the following are set:
Guiding Program: PHD2 Guiding

PHD/LG Port: 4400

Yes, thank you! It was the 4400. For some reason it was set to 4300.
