Mark, to add to Michael's suggestion, if you know where roughly in the sky you will be observing or photographing, then balance your scope in that position before you do your alignment, I found it always helped keep accurate tracking.
To clear confusion, some celestron mounts let you just point to any bright objects to align them, while others require you to point to a specific target. I have both an SLT and a CGEM DX and they behave different to each other.
