If current firmware ( 42g ) and you did a Polar two star align
there is a possible bug, especially if your first star is off.
Normally the bug manifests as the first star being off by say 1/2 to 3/4 of a finder normally to the left. After aligning, you get a successful align but the warnings say you are a long way off the pole, and gotos are crud.
If the above is the case, try a polar two star, and if the first star is off by more than 1/2 an EP ( note! EP NOT Finder )
then release the clutches and manually centre the first star best you can in the EP. You can get very close. Then lock the clutches and fine centre
Then accept and go to the second star as per normal.
You should get much better results

Thanks Andrew, and everyone else. This could be what I'm experiencing. I'm about to put some pavers down under the tripod legs so I'll check this out at the same time.
Cheers,
Ben.
