I have been giving the user guide a hiding (Loads of good stuff in APT that I am not using yet) and if the dithering behaves per the guide I might have the root of both my issues there.
I am just trying to wrap my head around what the stability distance setting actually is, is that a maximum deviation between guider images accepted as dithering completed and guiding settling? I am imaging at 1400mm and it was pretty windy so the guide star was really hopping about. Would that distance not being great enough potentially cause APT to wait then time out on the dither before continuing with the next image?
Will a dither command when there is no guide star result in a hang waiting for the star to move? I know the images I took with dithering disabled it would continue shooting subs even when the guider had no star, but it seems that when the guider has lost the star and a dither is commanded is when it hangs.
