I should be more specific...
these are guided tracking errors...not un-guided.
Unguided PE is about 5" P-V with no nasty fundamentals.

Its too easy for things to move with the slightest nudge.. not good.
Tracking-wise though its great; the difference in error on a good night between RA & DEC is about 0.1"( RMS). Overall tracking errors are about 0.3" to 0.7" RMS depending on conditions.
I have been using it lately with EQMOD which is a breeze, & hope that they implement the homing function soon (very useful).
Overall I'm happy with it so far..
Hope to catch up soon.
