I frequently image without guiding, and would very much like to be able to dither anyway.

As far as I can see, this isn't possible in Ekos but it's certainly possible in other software.

The logic is as follows for sequences which specify dithering:

if guiding then
displace guide target coordinate
wait for guiding to move mount to new target
else
nudge mount or slew mount a very small distance

Oddly, I guess this belongs in the guider module, even though it's about unguided dithering.

Or maybe there are so few people doing unguided imaging that this is a silly request?

Thanks for considering.
