I didn't know that, so that's good to hear. I was dithering after every image, since they were 10 min exposures. As I was cycling through LRGB last night, I could have done once every 4 images, but I did bother - it's fairly quick and painless.

Also, I think I could go much longer on my image exposures without issue - the camera is the main limitation now. So, that's good for any future camera changes.

I thought I had that option set, but the screenshot shows it's definitely not there. Weird.
