Thank you for your comments, my tripod was not leveled but the ground was
appoximatively flat so the levelling was not so bad.

Last night I did the same alignment, I leveled the tripod and the pointing
precision was much better, the keypad controller didn't change my latitude.

For my alignment I used a high power eyepiece (9.7 mm with a 8'' f/d=10 ), I
tried to center
the star in the field of view by defocusing.
My alignment stars were Albireo And Alkaid and they were high in the sky
to choose my 2 stars I use a program that I downloaded on internet
bestpair.zip which gives the best pair by calculating the pointing error
when I enter the time and the date 9th of July at 20h30 TU).
