How are you controlling the mount and capture? Under EQMOD I think you can make a manual dither request for unguided dithers, you just need to give the mount a time to settle down before taking the next image. If the dither takes the mount east for instance, it is likely to stop moving for a moment before any RA backlash is taken up and the mount starts moving again.

Thanks..nothing is set in cement at the moment..I use sharpcap and just the hand box shortly will control by lap top..thinking about it I will add a auto guide set up, its just that I ordered a camera and it has not arrived yet..I will have two scopes sharing something which I wanted to avoid...
