EQ6 pointing accuracy

I'm new to the EQ6. PE seems OK +- 7 arc secs and well managed by using PEC but the pointing accuracy appears very poor. Ive done a couple of TPoint models (88 and 48 points) and the best Ive got so far is around 1500 arc secs - thats 25 arc minutes . My old EM200 did around 45 arc secs.

Polar alignmen is OK 1.5 arc min in azimouth and about 10 arc minutes on the elevation.


Ive fastened every nut and bolt on scope and mount.

Is there anything I should be looking out for?
