All accords to manufacturer and the viscosity of their particular product, you will have to experiment with a bit of dilution, don't try to spray emulsion without dilution it will splatter everywhere, also do ensure its filtered, I used to filter at least twice on all finish's. In the end I never used a viscosity cup, far too messy, the feel of the paint should be somewhat like single cream, try, dilute more or less and try again, I would hang a bit of cardboard on the barn door and just try it out until I found the correct dilution, them indelibly write what I found on the paint tin.
The splatter shown in your post should not happen at all, I would suggest the paint was not mixed properly, you can't just constantly say I was in a bit of a rush, spraying correctly takes time and effort, give yourself a break and slow down.
The bubbles on the pine test piece may be contaminates on the timber, all timber needs at least a wipe down with a tac rag and a bit of de-contaminating and sanding before spraying.

last summer my brother sprayed a shipping container in grey. He picked a day with minimal wind. There was virtually nothing noticeable anywhere apart from on the container.
certainly nothing settling on my kit
