Polar alignment solver error

Hello,
Should I worry about the error seen during the polar aligment?
It is usually huge but I imagine I should forget about it as the documentation it says never to solve near to the NCP.

Also, after doing the polar aligment I find that my error when plate solving is big and takes 2 to 3 iterations at first. It doesnt get better after multiple targets.
I usually leave "Slew to target" as the default solver action, even when Polar aligning.

Could the error seen later in the plate solving be related to the mount being sync'd for every solve done in the polar aligment when the mount is being sync'd?
Should I set the Solver action to "nothing" for the PA and back to "Slew to target" when plate solving?

Many thanks

Replied by Raul on topic Polar alignment solver error

Yesterday night, 4 arcsecs error and the solver error is massive. I try to solve on the wizard nebula and is way off again. I did another solve later but didnt improve...
Could it be cone error?
