getting back on track
Sounds like the drives need training. This should be done every 3 to 6 months. It is a daylight task .You will need an object at a decent distance away to train the drives in RA and Dec and a reticle eyepiece to make sure that you get exactly back to the reference point. Also very important to centre the 2 stars at alignment as accurately as possible. Another possibility for problems is selecting polar mode instead of alt/az mode. Hopefully it is not an actual motor problem.
