After waiting an
eternity for the clouds to break I finally managed to finish commissioning my new PME.
Raw uncorrected PE of this mount is only +-0.8 arcsec!! I repeated the measurement several times to make sure too! The corrected PE seems to be lost in seeing noise but PrecisionPEC suggests +-0.5 arcsec.
I also did a 300 star TPoint model. This will get me to within 10 arcsecs RMS of any target using TheSkyX (which I can't use in anger yet because my Laptop is too old and slow
) or 13 arcsec in TheSky6 (after mimicking as much as I could from TheSkyX's model). Polar alignment is close enough!

Now I can get back to imaging!! Woo Hoooooo!
