You will get poor results with low batteries.

Check that the encoder values are correct Ie 10000 tick or 8192 which ever is relevant to your encoders.
Have you done the 360deg test?
Use Auto adjust on when doing Fix Alt Ref.
I am sure Gary will come in on this , but these are a few things to go on with.
Good luck  |
Yep checked encoder values are correct and batteries are always a fresh batch. As stated with auto adjust on it didn't work.
What's the 360deg test?

Are your two alignment stars sufficiently separated in RA and Dec, and one is not close to the Zenith?

I'll have a go with the daytime encoder test.
Yes I made sure the two alignment stars are sufficiently seperated, not close to Zenith etc... I tried all sorts of combinations (stars close to each other, far apart, different/same meridians etc...).
Thanks for the suggestion we'll see how we go with the daytime encoder test.
