Thanks Lukas!

Unfortunately, I've already read this page but it doesn't give the info I'm looking for, like :
- Can I generate a PE curve and use it for PEC with EKOS? From what I've read, it depends on wether the mount supports PPEC or not, but I would like to know more about it and understand exactly how it works.
- if I train the PEC with my mount controller (ie Gemini 2), will the PEC still be active once EKOS takes control of the mount?
- Can you dither without guiding?

Hi fellows,

I am new to this forum so a bit of introduction first : I used to do some astrophotography with an Astro-trac, a DSLR and a TV76 a few years ago but I had to stop until now. I am planning to get back into business but with a fixed setup I would control from my house this time.

Here are my questions :
- How does EKOS deal with Periodic Error Correction ? I couldn't find much info about that.
- Does EKOS allow dithering without guiding? Knowing the imaging resolution of the setup in arc sec / pix, it should be feasible I guess but I couldn't see this feature.

Hope those questions have not been asked before.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Maxime
