I'd add my vote for this feature - this is really useful in the case where you're not actually guiding (widefield DSLR work for instance), but want to dither to allow pixel rejection routines to get rid of artefacts (hot pixels, column defects, etc). Both my GM8 and Titan can drive well within the pixel tolerance for wide angle lenses, so they need forcibly dithering.

APT also allows this by two methods - the first uses a direct mount connection to do a small goto, randomly distanced from the start point, the second uses pulse guiding to do the same. There it uses a numerical parameter and the pixel scale to decide how much to dither.

It's be great to implement this in Ekos - I too could go to a complete RPi/indi/Ekos setup for DSLR work with this implemented
