Dither settings
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:54 pm
Hi reading up on this, I normally get around 0.6 to 0.8 arc pixels guiding results with my EQ6R, my current max dither step is 10 pixels based on previously having 20 which was too much movement around the frame of my ZWO533 camera. Ive read that you should try and match your settle threshold to your guiding total so I set this to just above what I was getting at 0.8 so set it to 1.5 Is this ok?
My main question is
Will my min and max settle times of 10 and 20 seconds be ok for dithers to be carried out by my mount successfully? I use ASCOM/EQ MOD with Cartes Du Ceil via laptop. Or should I increase them. Will this bugger up my guiding?
I use PHD2 with Sharpcap Pro sequencer for imaging with small less than 115mm typically 80mm refractors.
Thanks again. Derek
