Yeah, I agree John. Something simple like that would seem the simplest explanation for the behaviour.

Alignment marks?
Date wrong format?
Wrong Time zone?
Wrong time (am/pm)?

Matt, I assume your electronic compass works by detecting magnetic field. Are there any magnetic anomalies around you that could affect your compass? EG concrete building(reo), power lines, etc. That could have a big effect on your alignment (but not big enough to have it looking for stars underground!)

Also are you still using you PC to drive it or have you gone back to the hand controller? I suggest going back to the hand controller until you get it sorted, just so any complications from the PC system are not introduced.

Hang in there mate! It would be nice to put two drives side by side to see the differences!

Al.
