Frolinmod,
My comment was based on my own and associates repeated experiences with a P-ME and refractors in the field.
The mount is accurately polar aligned and setup with a digital inclinometer with an initial 6-10 point model and adjusted then a second model of around 10-20 points.
Adding another 20 or 30 points didn't seem to make any difference to the pointing.
Using MaxIm at 400% magnification across the sky above say 45 degrees altitude, the cross hairs after a slew to a star and image acquired for mapping purposes will either be on the star or within a star's diameter.
At 1.7arc secs per pixel on mag 4.0 - 5.0 stars that is about the mark.
This is using the standard 6 terms with everything rigidly mounted or attached via custom threaded adapters - there is no measureable flexure.
