iOptron CEM60 parking

Hello all,
I own a iOptron CEM60 for few time and I struggle with the parking function under Kstars/device control panel.
I define a zero position pointing close to the north pole and define also the parking to that position.
When I ask for parking the mount slew at track speed to an unexpected position without never reaching it.
The only solution looks to never park the mount and do a goto zero position after connecting it.
Are the owners of same device experienced same behavior ?

Hi Patdut,

that happened to my HEQ5 too if if parked too close to the Pole or even Polaris.
Sometimes you can even see on Kstars that the mount position jumps from one side of polaris to the opposite side.
Try to give a little more distance from the pole and redefine the park position.
