Yes, combined RMS was between 0.49 to 0.55 arcseconds for this session. I hope it will be better still higher up in the sky. Average HFR in the subs was between 1.81 to 2.00 arcseconds.

In TSX I do a random 16 point model on one side of the sky to get my polar alignment down to ~20 arcmin. I then use Autoslew and a 4-6 point (2-3 each side of meridian) model to get <1 arcmin.

Does the APCC allow something along these lines for creating multipoint sky models?
Sounds great Colin. Yes, APCC allows for creating customisable pointing models but I have not gotten to that yet. I may first experiment with PemPro as the PA Wizard seems to be very nice and simple to use.

One thing I noticed though that connecting via my house network might not be the best - in the log there were multiple timeout errors but I did not notice that at night. I will test setting up mount's own network or go back to using a cable.
