Sharpcap Pro & PHD2 dithering amounts ?

Hi all,

I have recently started guiding and its a game changer for me anyway so thought I'd try dithering it took out about a 1 megapixel chunk out of the frame on the first dither cycle.Not good!

I am using a 530mm main scope with a 533mc camera and a QHY Miniguidescope with a Lodestar X2 camera. All on a Vixen SXD2 Mount.

I can do the trial and error but surely there is a way to calculate how much dither to set, I have PHD2 at default 1.

Appreciate ant ideas, solutions. Yes a larger guidescope might help but I have to move my gear every night.

Cliff
