I like the idea of dithering subs...on my to try list.
When I first calibrate PHD and it starts guiding my DEC usually goes its merry way. I then go for a cuppa come back when the backlash is gone and the worm is loaded and guiding then I check the direction of the drift, sets the guide against it and set the max dec duration to 500ms and that's it. When Neb downloads the pic it pauses guiding so DEC will go one way or the other. When PHD's back it will pick up the DEC back then start guiding again within those 20s and I get another sub started. Works quite well. Don't loose too much sleep over DEC.
