Wait a sec, differential flexure is a problem during guiding (you get trailed stars even if the guiding is perfect) and dithering is what you or software does between exposures, while the guider is stopped. You dither so that sensor artifacts can get rejected during image stacking. Am I missing a turn of phrase above?
