Is there consideration to update apcc pro to allow the mount to be parked at a negative altitude? I am permanent and want to park that way to mitigate dust on the primary.

Dust on a secondary impacts the optical path more than dust on a primary. Just FYI.

I've always wanted to park my scope pointing straight down to avoid dew forming during storage. However, it would require APCC to do it in a very careful, precise manner to avoid collision with the pier. It would be a great function but I doubt if enough people would want it to justify the programming effort.

To be perfectly clear, although I think being able to park with the scope point down would be great, I'm not asking for it. It seems like the programmer effort would be huge. Moving the scope to such a position would be tough but handling unpark with the scope in such a position seems like a programming nightmare. Much worse than the much simplier Park 1 vs 4 vs 5 story.

Pointing down shouldn't be that big of a deal. Via scripting, send the mount to a pre-defined park position, like Park4, then send it to your custom park position, say, same RA but DEC 90 degrees down. Then stop tracking.

Rick,
It has already been done. It will be in the next release.

Roberto,
Yes, I believe that it has been fixed in the soon-to-be-released version.
