I use EQ6 - very similar to HEQ5 and always roughly polar align - I reckon I would be from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees off most nights I use it. Yes it will find objects quite well despite this misalignment. But even with my rough alignment I can hold objects in the field at 200X for a long time before I have to re-centre. As Bill said in the first reply, check tracking rate.
