The "Park" position is simply the position it assumes it's at when the telescope starts up, for the case of the classic LX. So the "park" used is to put it at 0 alt and 0 az (0 dec, current RA). That's what TheSky does for me. It does work in EQ and AltAz modes.

I normally would do a one star alignment when I start off a night's session, what I'm wanting to do is avoid doing that one star alignment - to be able to immediately do a plate-solve and start observing without me being present.

I think I'm going to have to do some testing of the exact errors and where they are.

Thanks,
Roger.
