Hi Jase,
I use PAM with my G11 controlled by an Astrometrics Skwalker and Maestro.
I don't have the mount pointing errors modelled by Tpoint, or corrected by the Skywalker system, but I do park the scope each night using the Skywalker.
I usually find that I can start the scope from park, and it will slew to a target on the same side of the mount and place the target on the CCD chip OK. From there, I can fine tune and centre the object, and then re-sync, and all is good.
Slews across the meridian usually don't place the target in the FOV, so I usually have to re-sync again.
Good productivity for me is be able to image 70 to 80 galaxies per hour as part of my supernova search program, so yes, its important to get things aligned well enough to get those pesky galaxies to fall onto the chip every time!
