losmandy gemini 2 tracking but no GOTO

tonight i had my scope out and i managed to get my mount polar aligned because saturn stayed in the FOV for over an hour with only a small amount of drift. Im still trying to get the GOTO in the gemini 2 to work. I am using the gemini ascom program to go the alignments. I enter in the co ordinates of the star then i press goto on the program. The scope goes near the star but i always have to make adjustments to center the star. Once the Star is in the FOV i press Sync on the first star.Next i choose another star and do the same process except this time i press Align1 button.I am using alignmaster for the best 2 stars.

Can anyone give me the correct procedure in doing the star alignment please? I am only guessing on how to do this. Any tips would be great as i really want the goto working so i can find alot of objects to view.
