What does a longer timeline show? If the trendline leveled within the span of your exposure length and you could then continue, practically speaking do you have an issue? I would consider weather temperature affecting a cable or mount mechanic first.

Have you examined the logs or sent them to the fine folks at PHD2?

Solved the issue! It turns out the starsense autoguider was not communicating with the mount. As soon as i connected the aux cable in smart dew heater.. everything started working perfectly.
