According to SB their software is supposed to average out the seeing and you should be able to achieve sub arc second PE.

But if your seeing is over 2 arc seconds is there any point in having sub arc second PE?

My uncorrected PE on the MX is around 3 peak to peak so +- 1.5
I trained the PEC but it did not make a lot of difference, I put it down to the seeing conditions.
I will have another go once the current problems are sorted with Sky X. I will keep you informed.

My image scale is .6 arc seconds per pixel, I still managed to achieve 10 min unguided without PEC.( That was with a good TPoint model and Pro Track.)

Cheers
