Optional

Telescope.Park() Method

Move the telescope to its park position, stop all motion (or restrict to a small safe range), and set AtPark to True.

Syntax

Telescope.Park()

The method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
Return (Nothing) Does not return a value.

Remarks

Raises an error if there is a problem communicating with the telescope or if parking fails.

Parking should put the telescope into a state where its pointing accuracy will not be lost if it is power-cycled (without moving it). Some telescopes must be power-cycled before unparking. Others may be unparked by simply calling the Unpark() method.

Calling this with AtPark = True does nothing (harmless)
