Question for anyone with some experience with this mount: During my inital start up the mount does its "calibration" and after its done that and all the information (date, time, lat, long, etc.) appears to be correct I select enter to verify information is correct then the scope with start to slew to a target, naming the star and its magnitude its going to.  The problem I am having is that where the scope ends up is no where near the named star.  When I do try to slew to the named star with the HP it will only allow me to move the scope in the Ra + or - .  I beleive this is how it is intended, according to the manuel.  The "level bubble" is pointed towards the south.  I have tried this several times and always the same result.  I eventually get the goto funtion working using the two star alignment metod but the scope is still slewing too far out of the FOV, even a 25mm eyepiece doesn't always get it.  Any suggestions?
