My biggest bugaboo in these skies is finding a suitable guide star.
PHD2 will lock onto any clump of noise and hunt around the sky trying to guide on it.
I'm not sure what issue you are having, but i image in the san fernando valley (the worst) and i have no problems finding guidestars, even with a simple lodestar x2. PHD has a number of techniques and filters to rule out non-stars for star selection, so i'm surprised you are having these kinds of issues
you might consider posting your logs to the PHD forums for feedback?
