Finally there was enough patches in the cloud cover tonight to perform an alignment and try out control using SkySafari.
I thought I got the alignment spot on with the hand controller, then fired up sky safari and it was reporting the scope to be pointing at the 2nd alignment star that I used (canopus), but upon selecting Jupiter and waiting for the scope to slew, it was just a little off to the right.
I then tried the hand controller and each target was off to the right, re-aligned and had almost the same error. I'm thinking I really need to get the scope level and will be making a based to achieve this.
So far it seems that the BT control works just fine though I'd like to get alignment to be perfect before giving it a full bill of health.
