final approach

Hi all finally clear sky last night
A question... with celestron 8se goto the final approach are set as default alt and az both negative which means its approaching from left and down is that correct? changed to both positive which seems to me up and right. However when i do the 3 star alignment with base level and using the goto function the telescope misses the targeted star or object usually ends up about 1" under and off to right about the same distance. The observing location coordinates are from my gps which are S 17'00.934" (17'00.56)
and E145'.43.901" (145'43.54") any suggestions?
It is frustrating to put it mildly.

Ervin
