Yes. You specify a fixed Altitude/Azimuth in the Telescope mount settings. e.g. Alt = 0, Az = 180 to park pointing due south and horizontal. AstroPlanner slews the scope to that position, turns off tracking (where possible), disconnects, and (now) beeps.

For some scopes (e.g. Meade Autostar), there's also a Park command that can be used, which does pretty much the same thing.
