If you're using a mains power supply, consider upgrading it or getting a decent battery supply.
The alignment shouldn't be consistently off unless there's a basic error which we haven't picked yet.
Just adding to what Jen said, you'll see the power light blink on and off (and spend gradually more time off) if voltage is becoming too low. The mount is also more likely to lose sync due to low power when both axes are slewing full rate.

Probably not your problem, but something to be aware of.
