Hi Jen,
Have you tried setting up the scope pointing towards the SCP? Swan Hill's Magnetic declination is 10.2 deg so you will need to point one of the legs of the scope to 170 deg rather than magnetic south on a compass.
I found a REALLY good guide here
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-466-0-0-1-0.html with pictures and everything!
This allows you to recognise what the SCP looks like and identify it in the finder so you can check and correct the altitude of the scope (mine was wrong) and plonk the scope in the same position night after night with minimal drifting if at all.
By the way, the flashing green light means the RA motor batteries are wearing down.
See how you go.
Cheers
Chris
