Even a perfectly aligned high end equatorial mount would struggle to keep a target centred for long periods at high magnifications like the approx. 400x that you were using. It would need little taps on the
appropriate motor button from time to time. At least your scope is motorised; trying to nudge a Dob by hand at 400x is tough.
