Can’t answer that one but every manual, YouTube clip, brochure, book etc.. has the scope parked with the counterweight shaft pointing down the south leg
If you were to set it level as Home Position , what happens when you start tracking up past 50 deg ? Won’t you hit the tripod leg with the scope and the same situation on the other side of the meridian ?
Maybe give it a try ??
Maybe a first for astrophotography !!
