This looks like pretty good guiding to me but I never really understood how to read the vertical lines in the chart. I understand it shows the corrections but how should it be interpreted ? Is it correcting too much, not enough ? Should I change the settings or be happy with sub 0.50” total error with an EQM-35 Pro mount and touch nothing ?

You should be happy with 0.5” RMS…
