I think Phil meant Month not Mouth

Do you have an illuminated reticle eyepiece? If so why not check with a drift alignment? Star near zenith on the celestial equator. Position it on one of the reticle lines and watch it for 15 to 30 seconds. If you are close it won't move much. I'm not a fan of computer assisted alignment as I feel you will learn more about your mount and what it is, or isn't, doing by observing the stars rather than watching them on a laptop.
Being close to your mount and watching and adjusting it in the eyepiece will give you a feel straight up if it is tracking or not. My EQ6 has a nice "whoosh" to it when it is tracking. I've had times where I haven't had it tracking in EQMOD, didn't hear the whoosh selected it to track and surprise surprise if the star stopped drifting.
Good luck with the journey.
