I have an iOptron CEM25p and I can never get parking to work reliably.
Once or twice it has worked, but usually it doesn't and any time the mount attampts to park (like after a polar alignment) I have to be there poised over the stop button to prevent the mount from being driven into the tripod legs.

I'm starting to leave sessions running when I go to bed now, but I'm worried that at some point something may try to park the mount and it might spend hours grinding the gears as it smashes the mount into the tripod before I'd realise it had happened.

Would it be possible to add a "Disable Parking" option that would prevent a park command from ever being issued?

Or better yet an option to "Use Goto Home instead of park" as that does work properly?
