My CG5 (now sold) generally performed quite well and would usually get the target into view each time...for several hours. When you are selecting the time on the keypad it has a Daylight savings option so you just enter the current local time and tell it if it is daylight savings or not.
I seem to recall a couple of times having the goto out quite a bit because I couldn't recognise 2 stars in the east (it needs 2 in the east and one west). I had to go inside and get the planisphere and bino's and try to find another star. It seemed the goto was not so great, so I was suspicious that while aligning the clock is "stopped" so you could be out. I since found out that selecting the same star in the east twice works if you are desperate.
I would suspect something slipping?
