Hi Rick,

I think you could probably get away with turning it down to 10 – that still plenty far enough to ensure that the dithering steps should blur out any pattern noise and it will overrule reduce the long-term random drift due to dithering.

The only other parameter that takes effect for the unguided dithering is the minimum settle time – SharpCap will wait at least this time after the post guiding manoeuvre is complete to allow the mount to settle. The default here should be enough - no need to change unless you are seeing artefacts in the imaging that might be coming from the image being started before the mount is fully settled.

Cheers, Robin

There is the way to have dithering without guiding using ascom synscan driver? Like Az-GTi.

Thank you
