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.

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.
