Thanks Mark, the location details are correct; the mount correctly slews to sky objects; it's just Park 3 that I've had trouble with. Not sure about Park 2 because I haven't used it.

I'll join the user group and ask them too...

Thanks also David, and very interesting to note your same experience. The other thing I learned this morning was that the AP driver keeps issuing the slew command (for a Park position) even after the hand controller's STOP button has been pushed. The latter would immediately stop the slew but it would restart again in about 10 - 15 seconds. It was not until I issued a stop command from the ASCOM driver interface that the mount would stop and stay stopped.
