Stellarium scope and polar alignment

[SStanford]

Hi All,

Feels like an age since I was last able to use the scope (late Jan!) but the skies were very clear tonight. 

I've been battling with obtaining accurate PA and I'm happy to have achieved PA error of 1.9 arc min according to PHD2 (log attached for reference).  

I'm using Stellarium scope and Stellarium to slew my EQ3pro. My understanding was, with accurate polar alignment, when slewing to a target on Stellerium the target should appear accurately in the scope FOV (correct me if I'm wrong). It seems that despite PA error of 1.9, targets are still quite far from the FOV.  

Do I need more accurate Polar alignment for this to happen? would I be better of just using saved alignment stars via EQmod at this point?
