Hi raymo,
Yes, I had this happen once before. As I was make the adjustments, the error was getting worse. I did post a message here, and got some helpful responses, but it seemed to fix itself the next outing, and I have not had that issue since. I have now upgraded to ver. 3.36, which seems to give me better alignment. I can now get it down to less than 1 min on both alt and az.
People were putting it down to my weight on the heq5, which is approx 15 kgs, which I know is too heavy for AP, but it is working for me, and I am happy with the results, that my son and I get. The mount has had that scope on it for over 10 years now, but I have since added the goto upgrade kit to it.
Hope it works for you again next time you are out as I find it a quick and easy way to align given the light pollution in my area.

I did try alignmaster, but could not resolve the alignment as well as I could with the synscan.
