Hi Mo,
Did the Argo perform normally other than the issues with "Rigel Kent" as an alignment star?
I can only think of 2 possibilities, I am sure Gary will have others.
1) The Argo didn't perform as it should have on other targets and the encoder is slipping or is faulty, either through a cable, connection or encoder fault. You can test this with a mode encoder test, as explained in the user manual.
2) You inadvertently selected Rigel from the star menu as opposed to Rigel Kent
Cheers,
