When hitting mount to home, my ASIAIR plus it drives the Celestron AVX Advanced to Polaris (weight down), but when I send the mount home from the hand controller it homes to the correct and desired (horizontal) position even though the mount was properly synced..How do I fix this I need the mount to home horizontally as it is correctly set in the hand controller of the mount.

 

Thanks!

Wouldn't that be "parked", not home?

The hand box Parks the mount.

I have not used my AVX in a while but the home position is user definable and can be set via the Set function on the hand controller after moving the mount to your desired position using the arrow keys.

 

It defaults to the position with the index marks aligned or counterweight down position.

To my knowledge it is not possible for your ASIair to "know" the custom park settings within your mount.  ASIair sends a generic "park" command, which tells the mount to go to its default home position.  Here's a thread in the ZWO support forum discussing this very topic.
