This may sound like a silly question, but is your mount an EQ6?

Have you moved the alignment peg thingo? i.e. is the alignment peg on the tripod above one leg, or is it between two legs.

If it is directly above a leg, have you pointed that leg north, or south?

Also, when using your compass, keep it away from the mount, I haven't found the electronic compasses to be very accurate, I use a cheap orienteering compass ($9) and a long straight piece of wood, it works a treat.
