I think you misread my last paragraph - I was commenting that SOMEONE had this problem with an HEQ mount. I have a Losmandy G11 mount, so most of your comments re "append on sync" and adding sync points don't apply - I can't see any facility in Alignmaster to do this with my mount.
I have used Alignmaster only when my mount has not been previously aligned. In Losmandy terms, this is a "Cold Start". It made no sense to me to have it aligned prior to using Alignmaster as the whole idea of AM is to minimize the physical alignment error prior to syncing the mount. The sync operation should remove any lingering alignment errors.
For me, I have had only one good experience with AM and one bad one. I probably should try again a few more times. It's disconcerting that AM shifts both axes at the correction stage (my reason for this posting), but I can live with it. I'm still getting a better physical alignment with it than without it.
As I observe further behaviour of AM I shall report it here in the interests of helping others.
Clear skies,
Paul.
BTW I wish one could choose an English-English spell checker on this site. (Just me grumbling ... please ignore. :-) )
