Hi Glen
Sorry to hear of your hassles.
Do you have an illuminated reticle? If you do test your polar alignment with a drift align, be interesting to read of your polar alignment accuracy off a drift. As others have said if your Polar alignment is out your goto will not be very accurate at all.
With my goto dob, an Orion with Synscan, it has PAE. Slew to your object, hit escape once then hold escape down for a couple of seconds. Now put your object in the centre of the eyepiece. Illuminated reticle works best as you can get exactly to centre. Then hit enter. I tend to use a bright named star, centre that and then goto your object, usually that close it is in the field of my 6mm Delos. If you are doing pull down and reset type operation please do remember to clear your PAE after each session as they do remember previous sessions of PAE.
Good luck with it and I hope my ramblings are of benefit.
Wayne
