I've got an LX90, but it's basically the same. The "sleep" function you use when you're still out observing, but you want to leave the scope for awhile without turning it off. It remembers the position it was last in, then when you want to power back up it just continues on where it left off. "Park" puts the telescope into the parking position then switches all the functions off. You have to turn your scope off then on again to get it backup and running. The last position is stored in memory, regardless of whether it's on or off. Works for scope in the same position as they were setup in, but if you move it, then you have to realign. Example: If you need to duck inside for something, put the scope into "sleep" mode, if you close down for the night put it in "park" mode.
