Cool, thanks for the info. I'll need some time to get set up with my dev env around INDI before looking at getting productive but I got everything to build.

Personally, I think it might make sense to pursue the dithering independent from the overall automation (at least as a near-term increment). This wouldn't work for a completely automated setup. However, if just using KStars/EKSO for controlling alignemnt and capture, one would just get the guing going "manually" with the MGen handbox but control the subsequent image capture through INDI and just send the dither command between frames. (It would also be cool if one could get the guding stats while the guiding is running so that could be displayed during capture - however, I suspect that the protocol might not support you getting at the data while guiding is running)

Cheers,
Lars
