Thank you Matt,

The mount is levelled (based on my iPhone Inclinometer which is think is more precise than the bubble on the mount)

In my areas these days Sirius and canopus are suggested by the Goto mount and I am pretty certain I aim to these stars. I tried also with star calibration to see if I get better results but no luck either, after alignment the mount slews close to the object (e.g Saturn) but not close enough,
Yes, perhaps learning the hard way by trial and error is the way

Cheers, Uri
