David, I think Paul actually said "putting it to the same spot" and to within a couple of pixels the next night. This is as good as dithering as far as I can see anyway.
But you do need that sort of accuracy night to night and I'm afraid to say that with a well tuned eq6 or Losmandy G11, Sequence Generator can do that to within a few pixels. With the plate solving in SG this can be done with a photo taken last year or someone else's image you want to get for yourself and you don't need a PMX to do it with.
Demos at Astrofest if you are interested.
