How the "Park" position works with the Schulman Telescope
On a general telescope park positions can be defined by a physical limit switch/indicator or through software by means of defining a particular telescope position. Some software programs also couple the position of “Park” with the action of moving to a park position and then turning off sidereal tracking. Not all software programs do this.
Schulman Telescope Implementation of Park
Different software programs handle Park in different ways:
| Program | Behavior |
|---|---|
| LCOGT GUI | Park is a position only. Its state is asynchronous. |
| ACP | Park will set park variable (recorded by ACP and LCOGT) to “parked”, send to the defined park position and turn off tracking |
| TheSky | Connects to telescope via “ASCOM Mount.” In this way, park is only a position. |
