Hi muddy.
While I've not had a Nexstar, I imagine the intial aligning process would be similar. Some nights I found my LX200 way off in goto and other nights it would be center of the eyepiece every time. What I found was in the nights that it was way off I was doing the initial alignment on an incorrect star/stars. With some of the LX series (notably the 200, 90 I'm not sure) you had to make sure your scope was pointing closesly towards the north celestial pole. Is this the same with the nexstar and if so how close are you getting your initial positioning?
What about drive training? Do you have to train the drives of a nexstar? You do with some of the Meades
CS Hope this have given you some ideas and avenues to check
