When I got my wedge for my LX200 I had all sorts of goto issues. I finally figured it out:

1. You really need to ensure you get true north (helps keep drift align quicker)
2. I use WCS program to do drift align first
3. Then I do a 2 star align BUT I release the DEC clutch to centre the first star! Then use the controls to centre the star in RA.
4. The second star is then align using the handbox only
5. This gave me near perfect goto!

Hope this helps a little bit
