How acurate is your "goto" ?

I have recently aquired a HEQ5 Pro mount in very good condition from another forum member (thanks Daniel you where very helpful!) i no the polar alignment isnt exact, but for observational use its pretty good, but i am finding out that the "goto" on it is woefully inaccurate, i know its probably caused by me messing around with the mount, and i know there is nothing wrong with the equipment, it just doesnt seem that acurate at all !!

I am using an Orion ED80 with a Meade 26mm plossl, the scope is only F7 (F7.5?) so it should be a wide-ish FOV, but its usually out by quite a bit

Can anyone recommend any tips for getting the best out of the HEQ5 Pro mount?

thanks
