I had the same issue with mine when I had it. I bought a copy of max point and it helped quite a bit. It makes a model of your mounts imperfections and corrects your slews.
What planetarium software are you using? Maxpoint is a stand alone and will work with anything but if you have The Sky x it has the tpoint addon which is much better and much more expensive.

Maxpoint will only do a maximum of a 200 point model but tpoint can do a 600 point model to get a very accurate model.

Both packages can do this automatically with little user input but for tpoint you'll need TSX as well as the camera add on. For maxpoint you'll need maxim Dl 5 for automation. Tpoint is the better of the two but maxim can be used as stand alone but you'll need to slew to every star and centre them manually.

Thanks
