Hi everyone
System is Stellarmate OS 1.8.1 running on an rpi4 and using VNC to access from Macbook. First, I would like to say everything is working and I am getting good results. My concerns are with interpreting aspects of the analyze tab. Last night I was taking 30 sec. exposures with dithering every 5 exposures(one pulse dither). In the screenshot it can be seen that at dither, sometimes, but not always, movement can be seen in the ra or dec directions. These movements are not seen in the guide graph in the analyze tab by the way.Question is, why are these movements in RA or dec not seen at each dither in the analyze graph. In the red rms curve why are these movements taken into consideration to calculate rms values since guiding is actually suspended during dither. Any help would be appreciated.
