Wondering if there is a plan/possibility that alternate mount parking positions be implemented in Indi

I am building a very small, trunk transportable, observatory, and I would appreciate if the roof could be made low enough for the whole observatory to fit in my car (see attached photos). I can manually park the telescope in a horizontal position and power everything down but the capacity for Indi or EKOS to park automatically is not implemented (yet), from what I understand. Furthermore, ZWO haven't implemented parking capability for that mount yet but I understand they are working on it.Any encouraging insight will be much appreciated.

Thanks all, and thanks to GonzoTheGreat for the original idea!

Separate Home/Park will be introduced in the new AM5 firmware soon.
It's already available as beta but only for ASCOM.

Thanks very much for this info. I'll be 'anxiously' :lol: waiting for the new firmware. I guess that the AM5 Indi driver will also need an update, once the park feature is available with the new firmware.

Looking forward for the new feature.
