And I finally managed for the first time to dither without guiding

But (there is always a but) I now discovered that I can only dither on the DEC of my mount. It has high precision optical encoders on the RA and the mount has 2 options: either filter RA guiding so the encoders correct any tracking errors or Allow RA Guiding so an external guider can be used.
This last settings has to be enabled to get the dither pulses from SharpCap. But that's not an option because I only use tracking so I need those encoders to be active, especially for the longer exposures.
So I can only dither on DEC and I am wondering if that is useful? I did see the movement but it looked like it was repeating step with equal movement each time in the DEC. Or are these dither distances random and I just didn't notice it?
