Dithering is the technique of displacing the telescope between observations either on integral pixel scales (to assist in removing chip blemishes such as hot pixels) or on sub-pixel scales (to improve sampling and thus produce a higher-quality final image). Here we briefly discuss observation and data analysis for dithered data.
