It pains me to write this, but I've seen people achieve better than four (4) arc-seconds RMS all sky on a Paramount ME. That's with a large refractor as their OTA. Alas, I can only dream of being able to accomplish that.

The very best I've ever been able to do so far with my EdgeHD 14 on a Paramount ME is between 8 and 9 arc seconds RMS all sky. Despite having the mirror locked down, mirror movement is no doubt still my limiting factor.

Once you've finished your run and had Supermodel compute and accept your model, please go into Tpoint, select the Model tab, select "Multiple Graphs" from the Graphs pulldown on the lower left corner, drag the edges of the window to make the graphs as large as they'll get, make a screen snapshot using the Windows snipping tool accessory (if you're running Windows) and post it here. Thanks.

Oh, if you haven't tried going into Telescope->Tools->Bisque TCS->Parameters and increasing the mount's acceleration and slew speed to their maximum values, give it a whirl. Very cool.
