Is anyone using PEC on the EQ8? If so, what was your peak to peak error before and after?

Measured mine recently using PEMPro and my before was 5.4" peak to peak. Haven't applied the PEC yet so I don't know what the after will be.

Given the same data, PECPrep gave me roughly 7" peak to peak. In the scheme of things both are good, but that's a relatively large difference.

My PA was out a fair bit on DEC, so I wonder if that's got anything to do with differences. Maybe the former deals better with that.

I tried to use Astrotortilla to improve my PA earlier that night. According to Astrotortilla I went from 14' low in DEC to 8" low, which is obviously a massive improvement, but resulting alignment was actually significantly worse. I won't be using that again. I probably could have left it how it was originally, but how it is now definitely needs improvement.

Anyway, just curious to see who's using PEC on the EQ8 and what I can expect to get after applying PEC.
