That is one thing that is a big advantage of the iOptron (CEM70 at least) “Seek home” is available via ascom and is a sync event. You can power it off in any position, or release the gear and move it manually but if you seek home it does so and syncs to that position so it is immediately ready for a goto. And provided the base is decently level it is close enough to jump straight in to plate solving to center a target without needing a blind solve to start off.

Is it not possible via ASCOM to send the EQ8-R home automatically and have it sync on that position? A bit of an odd design choice if that is the case.
