Toucam error, need advice

Using the Toucam is very new and I'm still learning. Photographing the moon March 25- 07, I discovered that to capture the moon (part there of) it required the cross hairs of the finder, which was previously set central to the moon's cresent, using a 25 mm eyepiece, to be the width of the moon's cresent to its right. In my estimation that represents a large misalignment error and the reason I had so much trouble capturing Saturn a few nights previous.
Has any contributor experienced this? If so,can someone please advise how one can overcome the problem? It is most disappointing. What with a damaged driver disc and now this, it makes me wonder.

I must add at this juncture that I'm managing to get reasonal results with the imager and Registax, although my pictures when printed out, using a Lexmark laser B&W printer are not as exciting as when viewed on the computer monitor.
