stu,5 arc mins is pretty good on low power eyepieces it should be mighty close to centre..meade are the same and with high precision they say 1 arc min..to me thats close enough to centre...
for visual use only-we know photography has to be better..
but 1/2 deg just ain't wright..
i do occasionally notice a star or ned,g/c that isn't quiet there in centre and this could be human error,as somebody has to put there R.A-DEC into equasion and errors are made!!!!!!!!!
