Sounds like the Polar Alignment is off if it cant track. Your Az might be off, since you used an inclinometer for Alt.

Polar alignment will determine how well it will track. Star Alignment is for GoTo accuracy.

Also check the tracking rate. I know on the AZ-EQ6 it will automatically switch to Lunar rate if you look at the moon but it wont switch back to Sidereal afterwards.
