... To be read in conjunction with Section 7.6 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , Version 4.0 Dithering is the act 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 final image resolution). ... In particular, at the time of the last writing, our experience in removing cosmic rays from singly dithered data (i.e., only one image per pointing) was quite limited. ...
