I had some seriously bad flexure, way too much, and I know that's not a good thing. Think I've solved that so that while it still does exist, it's minimised as good as I can do for now. I intend to do some testing to actually measure pixel/min, but the results from Astrofest seem promising.
Technically, dithering will only work if you have a sharp sub. Flexure does the same to your background as what you see in the stars. It's smeared. So flexure needs to be sorted out. Flexure is a no-no. Then you can dither if you want.
