HI -I thought the CGEM alignment software was pretty good. Make sure the correct time and place is set in the hand controller-I got one of those GPS thingys which made it very accurate. Then use the suggested alignment stars -if you cant see them then scroll down till you recognise a star you can see.
The first issues I had when starting out was the time not set properly with the offset and then the hand box not remembering it so each time I started it up I had to re set it.
I can't remember if it hs major Australian cities in the set up but it certainly didn't have Hobart so I had to manually put in lat and long as well before I got the StarGPS thing.
The manual is pretty good.
Hope it works well for you as I think the CGEM is a great mount.
Maybe longer focal lengths like your9.25 make it harder to initially find the stars, have you tried with a smaller/guide scope or lower mag eye piece?
