indi_ieq_telescpe is not for the iEQ45 2013 and earlier models. This one is for the iEQ45 PRO.
This should be added to the indi_lx200zeq25.

Besides this, there are multiple iOptron mount options all with different names.
Maybe it's better to name them more consistently? My suggestion should be to put "iOptron" as prefix:

- iOptron iEQ45 HC8406
- iOptron iEQ45 HC8407
- iOptron iEQ45 Pro
- iOptron iEQ30 --> not sure of this is for the pro version?
- iOptron ZEQ25


Also the driversshould be name more consistently maybe like suggested above?

hmmm lx200zeq25 already slews mount before parking.. need log to investigate issue. I added prefix to all the drivers.

Actually you already attached the logs before. Ok I think I found the issue.. it was checking isSlewComplete but it read a previous value.. anyway, I added a flush before the command so hopefully this is fixed. Check tomorrow.

do notice in the logs I see the wrong commands are used for parking, below the correct ones.

Command: “:AP#”
Response: “0” Un-parking state, “1” Parking state.
This command gets the parking status.

Command: “:MP0#”
Response: “1”
This command un-parks the telescope.

Command: “:MP1#”
Response: “1”
This command invokes the parked mode. In parked mode, the telescope cannot slew, track, and
guide unless a un-park command is issued.
Caution: Any movement caused by hand controller will make the telescope into un-park state.

Still no luck.
After a succesfull slew I press park. I hear a beep, but nothing happens and see "error" in the mount control.

It says right there error slewing. Your parking position (Alt = 0 Az = 0) is invalid as the mount sees it "below the horizon". Slew first to your parking position, then go to INDI control panel --> Site settings --> click "Current" to use current location.

I'll add an easier way to do it from the sky map in the next release.
