If autohome sets your current setup pointing North and down
then you have the OTA mounted in the DEC puck 180 deg out.
Then ( AFAIK ) it wont work using the handbox homing routine.
As i mentioned, there are 2 positions of the DEC puck where the dovetail bar can point at the pole.
As a human, you can point your OTA to the pole no probs
but the mount cant.

I am not sure if we are talking at cross purposes because I don't quite understand what you are saying. The mount has worked perfectly well for the last couple of years in the current configuration of the scopes 'home position'. Why is it then necessary to de-clamp and rotate the scope? What's wrong with simply restoring factory defaults?
