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

Hi John,
I'll try it again tonight and take note of what you say. I did notice it didn't like Spica as part of the 2 star alignment. Strange as I've never had this issue before. I have the scope on a slight slant in my yard so it could be playing havoc.

Strange, I have had an ARGO NAVIS for about ten years and never seen that before.

I'm not surprised the AN is such a well built kit. I'm 99% confident it's a human error
