Astro-Physics V2 ASCOM Driver

I am having some trouble parking my scope using the AP V2 ASCOM driver. I am using the latest ASCOM platform (6.0) and latest driver (v5.00.03).

All park positions work perfectly well from the mount's own hand controller.

Using the ASCOM driver, park position #1 works perfectly, but if I select park position #3, the mount travels from #1 beyond #3 (pointing to the SCP) and keeps going. I don't know where it would end up because I intervene to stop the slew.

Having done that, I can then issue a park command from the AP hand controller and the mount will successfully park in the selected position. It's just when I attempt to Park 3 using the ASCOM driver that things don't go as expected.

Any advice or clues would be most welcome.

Chris
