What happens if you do the alignment with an eye piece?
Try with an eyepiece and get back to us. What king of scope is it?

Some focusers can flex with a DSLR on them, or if the lock is not tight on the tube, hence asking about doing it with an EP.

BTW, you don't need to use the polar scope if your using the polar alignment subroutine inV3.35, and really a two -star alignment is probably fine.

I don't put my camera on the scope until after it is aligned, and then setup and focus on a bright star near my target.

Good luck
