Do I have to conduct a star alignment everytime ? Doesn't this info get stored in the hand controller with custom settings such as for home backyard, use these alignments ?

Yep, each time you turn off the power source you do have to do the 1, 2 or 3-star alignment routine again - there is no provision for a ROM-based storage on the handcontroller for such
Good to hear that you've finally managed to at least get it slewing to the right spot after the star alignment process
I'd recommend the
Alginmaster software - there's a trial period before you decide to pay up, so give it a try
Generally speaking if you did this -

Give it a try!
