It goes to the right region but it takes a bit of searching to find an object. Is this normal or should it be aligned better?
I may be wrong here, hopefully others will correct me..

StarSense works best on AltAz mounts and you have a CGX which is an equatorial mount. For this to work and give you good gotos you need to be reasonably well polar aligned.
