M81 M82 - still experimenting with dithering!

[steviemac500]

So still getting to grips with dithering. Tried these 2 two last night and my guiding packed in half way through which left me with 20 of the 40 planned 5min exposures. Taken at ISO 800, dithered through PHD and APT. Didn't take any darks again to see the result and ran the image through Gradient Xterminator which seems really good. 40 Bias and 20 flats, processed in PS.

If anyone can offer any further insight into the best dithering settings on APT i would be very grateful.

_{Anyone able to help out with dithering expertise? It's raining in Cyprus so unusually I'm unable to get out - having to do work instead}
