I know that you don’t and we have already compared our INDI config files which are exactly the same. Apart from that, I am not the only one who has parking issues with a CEM25 or GEM45 and to my best of knowledge there are many more people with issues than without (actually I think you’re the only one without).

FWIW I use the stable release and have had this issue since we started using this mount which is over a year now.

Yes, I know we compared the config file and I know they did not explain the discrepancy. However, the fact that my mount parks reliably does indicate that this cannot be a systematic Kstars problem, but either has to be a misconfiguration either of an Ekos or Indi file, or, perhaps most likely, in the hand controller. I never used that for anything, except for setting the Zero, i.e. home position, which is also the parking position. That may be the reason why I am one of the few who do not have these parking issues.

I think it is possible to control the mount directly without the need to go through the hand controller, but I do not have the required cable for that. Do you - or anyone else having these problems - and have you tried that? That would help tremendously with trouble-shooting, as it would allow one to narrow the issue either to Indi/Ekos or the hand controller.
