I'd suggest outlaying a little more cash and getting Skysafari - you won't have any more "at least I think it was Hadar" moments! Also, depending on when you were setting up, Antares may have been close to zenith, and in my experience dobs don't align or track all that well choosing stars close to zenith.
Having the tube level when you turn on shouldn't matter, but make sure the base is level, and then the two star alignment should be easy. I chose brightest star last week for something different and it gave me the runaround, so I'll be avoiding that one.
