Inaccuracy using Telescope Control

Hi, i use Stellarium with my Celestron 130 SLT through a serial to usb adapter connected from the nexstar + hand controller to my computer, and i can use the Telescope Control plugin to send slew commands to my telescope just fine, but there seems to be a lack of synchronization between stellarium and the telescope. I do an alignment on my telescope and slew to say Betelgeuse and i can see it in my telescope, but when i go into Stellarium and connect my telescope it shows it as near Betelgeuse, but definitely not on it, so when i select Betelgeuse on stellarium and hit ctrl+1 it slews and on Stellarium it shows my telescope as on Betelgeuse, but when i look into my telescope i can't see it. Is this normal? if so i'd say it makes it completely useless. If not, how can i fix this?
