What do you call a long way off? My first star was Antares - in the ESE around 30 degrees elevation. The scope ended up pointing northeast about 45 degrees elevation. If the scope knows it's at home position, it surely should get closer than that??
I have been through the full alignment process a couple of times, and the subsequent stars don't seem to get any better.
