Parking HEQ5 mount

Hi IIS,

I am in the middle of designing a very basic observatory shed in the backyard out of colourbond steel.

I am just using the standard slide off roof design most backyard observatories use.

My question relates to the permanent storage/parking of the HEQ5 mount.

Normally, when I park the scope, it sits up at 90 degrees with a height of 2m (including scopes).

Does anyone know if I can choose to park the scope at 0 degrees so that the height is only 1.5m and then resume from that position?

I am using EQMOD via my laptop to control the mount if that assists with any replies.

Cheers
Sam
