Just do a simple drift align and ignore the Synscan routine. I find if I set up with compass to the head (on an aluminium bar to get it away from motors and iron), then do a 2 star alignment, changing any erroneous alt and az between each 2 star align by roughly the error it reports (for usually 3 iterations, if I guess the error displacement well), I can easily get it to within less than a MINUTE in both axes, and then further refine with a simple drift alignment by CCD.
I gave up on the Synscan routine a long time ago and just do it MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY way.... (sorry Frankie)
