It's OK, I just thought at first glance that we had achieved a new level of accuracy, and just for a second I said to myself "Hmmmm.. I must not be doing a good initial alignment..." Then I realized you must have meant arc minutes.. BTW, Your results are just about the same as mine.. about 2-3 arc min. error at most in HPP, more when near the zenith, or Cel. North Pole..in Alt-az mode..
