Hi,
I am trying the same thing and have the same issue. The other issue is that if you are too far out in RA then you run out of adjustment room on the RA bolts.
I only tried once but after reading a bit I think that it should be done iteratively. Other people seem to do it two or three times then it seems to work.
Next time I plan to run the routine and only worry about RA and manually swivel the mount until South is pretty good and I have good adjustment room in the RA bolts; then run the routine 3 or 4 times, each time power cycling the mount after going to home position.
I only do a two star alignment, usually on alpha crucis and alpha centauri which only takes about a minute, next time I will also use a 12mm reticle.
On my previous foray into DSO AP I got good results using drift alignment, that was 10 years ago though and this time I want something quicker than the 40 or so minutes that took me.
That's my theory anyway, if anyone else has any ideas I would also be pleased to here them.
Cheers
Paul
