2. If so, what are good target numbers for these parameters?
I think 0.3 RMS is about right. Anything over 0.5 or close to 0 is over or under correcting due to balance, wind, stiction, ect... At the end of the day don't worry about it too much. What's important is to quantify the seesaw graph in relation to your pixel size on your picture. If you zigzag up and down but still stay within a pixel on the camera then you're good to go so don't stress about it. It's all relative. Good enough is just that.
