Telescope control

So I’ve managed to connect my skywatcher eq 6 to starry night but it’s not accurate like the hand control for the Mount have followed all instructions to align with starry night but not happy with it also what shut down start up procedure do I still have to wake up the Mount with the handset then connect starry night or can you just use the software? How do I choose my custom park position in the software? Shut down procedure don’t want to lose alignment in the hand control any advice appreciated
