With my CG5ASGT mount, if your not accurate with entering the time, you will just have to slew more to center your alignment stars, the more your off in time, the more you will need to slew to re-center the first two alignment stars
I have noticed this in the past, just because I forgot about daylight savings time, the first two were off by about 1 arc hour.
After re-setting and entering the the right time the alignment stars were within the field of my finder scope.
