Ah ok fair enough, thanks mate. Admittedly I've always been a bit less concerned with PA than some people, partly because the adjustments on my old EQ6 were so difficult to make that once I got it within a couple of arc minutes I didn't think I'd be able to adjust it any better than by pure luck.

Total PA error is probably 3-4' at the moment. Alt is a bit awkward to adjust on the Linear, but Az is easier so maybe I can tweak it a bit more in the near future.
