AP mounts seem to revolve around this central 'Park' concept. Can you demystify it? And what's this new Park 4? Coming from a MX, w' start up homing in both Dec and RA, software programmable park positions in SkyX, and very repeatable pointing night after night, I was spoilt...

Mainly, does starting from a pre existing AP park position guarantee the same superb, repeatable pointing; subject of course to underlying modeling, accurate site data, PA and all that, without the need to Recalibrate each time?

P.S. When the 1600 homing/limit switch system is available, I'll jump on that. For now, the 3600 H/L system gives a good indication of what it may include: http://www.astro-physics.com/product...t-switches.pdf
