PHD2 + OAG + Autofocus - failing to recovery

Sequence Generator
1

I have issue with start of sequence,
my configuration is OAG and autofocuser. Sequence is set to center, autofocus at start and on filter change.
Guiding is set to pause for autofocus
When sequence start centering is done, guiding will autoselect star and pause, Autofocus is done and guiding try restart - here my issue start - during autofocus PHD loose star and SGP swith to recovery.

Unfortunately recovery will do centering and focusing again and my issue is recurrent.
Is there any possibility to let PHD choose star after focusing?

Thanks for help

A couple of ideas - you can increase the search box size in PHD2 and take a look at your focus mechanism. The fact it moves suggests either the focus mechanism has play, or I guess, the tracking on your system is poor and the star is drifting during the AF period.
