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.</div><div><br></div><div>For some scopes (e.g. Meade Autostar), there's also a Park command that can be used, which does pretty much the same thing.</div><div><br></div><div>Paul R.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
