Tonight is the first time I've been able to get out with my new scope. I managed successsfuly to align it using 3 stars. I set it to slew to M42 which it did do . However when I set it to slew to a second object it pointed in the wrong direction,usually towards the zenith. I tried this several times & the outcome was similar.

Any ideas what I need to do to help rectify this?

On a positive note M42 looked beautiful & enchanting.

Hmmm... check you're on alt/az mode (unless on a wedge for eq mode). Check daylight saving and if any slew limits have been programmed in. You may find it's simple as a low battery pack.
