10Micron Parking Command

[Observatory Grömme]

Dear All,

I have a 10 Micron, but i'm having troubles automaticly parking it.
In Prism: the only thing is that i can insert park coörinates and then prism sends the mount to this location and then i get an error:

But is there not a way that Prism just sends the ASCOM " Park" command, and that the mount will park at setting inside the mount? This is much better for me.

Thank you.

so it seems the driver is not telling prism the "setpark" is supported. Can you please take a screenshot of the available driver functions like the image I am enclosing?

Dear Hamza,

Mmm, i found out the other option on the driver and now it works.

But let me explain:
The driver has 2 options: Parking command and it parks by a position defined in the keypad. ( I assumed Prism just sends the Park command to the mount )
The other option is defined by the software, and now that seems to work.

But why not the option to park the mount defined by the keypad for prism? ( Maybe a feature for prismV11? )

PRISM accomodates ASCOM compliant and non compliant mounts to it has a regular park command and one that actually sends AL and AZ coordinates to the mount. I suppose a better way to do this is interrogate the mount for ASCOM compliance. If it is, then just send a plain park command. Am I in the ballpark here?

Thank you. I will just work with option 2 of the driver.
