Thanks Malcolm. Don't you need to have the OTA level and pointing north before switching on the handset power? That's how my skywatcher dob + synscan goto recommends getting started. Happy to have you say otherwise though, as it'll save a bit of stuffing about for me next time! True north gives much more accurate alignment, but as has been mentioned, most compass apps are set to magnetic north, which I recently discovered after having similar misalignment issues.
