1. Support custom park position.

2. Fix some minor bugs.

Note:
1)To ensure the safety of the equipment, after the equatorial mount firmware is upgraded to version 1.8.8, the system will set the position where declination(DEC) is rotated 90° from the home position (i.e., the telescope is placed horizontally) as the default parking position for “Park Mount” .
2)Please upgrade your ASCOM drivers to V6.5.35. You can obtain the latest driver from our official website https://www.zwoastro.com/software/

Instructions:
1)Please download the correct firmware file according to your ASIMount model. Using an incorrect file may cause software recognition errors and affect normal function.
2)After downloading, unzip the package to obtain the .bin file. Then open the ASIMount control program (ASI Mount in ASCOM or ASI Mount Controller in ASIStudio) and perform the upgrade via Local Update. Please read all prompts carefully during the operation.
3)If you have installed the wrong firmware version, please download the correct one and perform the local update again.
