Hi Ken,

I had this all typed out ready to send, but will have to dedo it, because I accidentally closed the window..... grrr...

What I did was set the telescope in the normal home position with the mount off. After doing this power up the mount and connect to EQMOD from there without touching anything reset the encoder position, by clicking on the little icon with the two curved arrows, this will tell eqmod that you are in the home position...

now for the fun part.

Unpark the scope if you haven't already, Slew to whatever location you want the scope to park in. From there there is an icon under the one you just clicked on the reset the encoders, click that and a new window will pop up. You have a few options here, you can reset or set, what I did was in the top window, which is for park, I clicked on where it ways userpark or something like that, and named it User1park, I then clicked on set. Now eqmod has recorded that position into it's ini file. You can do the same for the bottom one for unpark if you like, but rename it to something like user1unpark. Close that window by clicking the little x. Now you should still have in the main eqmod window, park to home position set, click on it so it parks to the home position. (counterweights down and scope pointing towards pole)

Unpark the mount and open the setup window again, down the bottom in the middle there are two pull down windows, on the top pull down window select user1park, you can do the same for the unpark one to if you like.

Now when you look at the park button on the eqmod screen it should read user1park. click that and it will park the scope in your new position.

I hope I covered that right, not in the observatory atm, so working off memory. There are some small steps in there that you can avoid, but I put them in there so you can see it's working.

If you still have trouble, use the toolbox feature in the EQMOD folder and delete the ini files, that usually fixes most problems, be warned you may need to do it all again and reset your location etc....
