 This is the standard [[.:troubleshooting:Fixing the Park/Unpark Error|"Park" position]]. At a Declination of -32 degrees, this is 25 degrees from the local horizon and aligns with the Flat Field panel (when the dome is rotated accordingly). Also see the [[understanding_schulman_telescope_limits|Telescope Limits]] page for more information.  This is the standard [[.:troubleshooting:Fixing the Park/Unpark Error|"Park" position]].

-The zenith position is (HA,Dec) = (0, local latitude). For Mount Lemmon the Declination of the zenith is approximately 32 degrees. Thus the zenith position is a good orientation to verify proper pointing of the telescope. The telescope box and fork arms (bottom edge) should be parallel to the ground. If the fork arms are +The zenith position is (HA,Dec) = (0, local latitude).

 This is the HOME position for the telescope. The telescope may be found in this position for a number of reasons including maintenance, initialization, and potential problems. Nota Bene: This position is at the L1 positive limits for both RA (HA) and Declination axes. This position is fully west to the mechanical limit and fully north to the mechanical limit.  This is the HOME position for the telescope.
