Trouble with goto

Have bought a gorgeous little Skywatcher mak-cass 127AZ with SynScan goto, but cant seem to get the goto going.
Have never had a goto, so pretty sure its just me, Dobs are soooo easy.
Finally a break in the weather last night so gave it another go, but it goes in the wrong direction, again, after I have aligned the first star.
Have it facing south, set up the right time/date/lat/long etc .... align stars .... slew to Vega and enter, then to Altair (last week I tried Arcturus and it went in opp direction) and it heads south!! Doh.
Anyone have any ideas of what I could be doing wrong??
Have checked and rechecked lat/long and am East and South.
I can take it to one of our club members to help me, but thought i would do a quick ask here.
Thanks.
