Using SkySafari 6 Pro And An Astro-Physics GTO-CP3 How Do I Use Mount Park 4? (Answer: The Park/UnPark Commands Are Only Available With GTO-CP4 - With CP3 Use The AP Hand Controller.)

I have SS6 Pro on Android and use an AP1100GTO with CP3. I thought I would be able to do a Park and In park for Park 4. I don't see any commands to do this. Does it only work with a CP4?

    That should read 'Park and Unpark for Park 4'

    Yes, this is only available for CP4 mounts.  With CP3 you need to use your hand controller.

    So there is no way to park my AP CP3 mount in any position using SkySafari Plus (or Pro) 6?

    That's correct.  In general we only implement basic telescope features that are common across all mounts.  You are supposed to use the hand controller for more specific features.

    Not to be condescending, but what function could possibly be more basic than the ability to take the scope in and out of park?

    None that I can think of.

    There are lots of mounts that have no concept to "park".  We implement:

    • Connect/Disconnect
    • GoTo
    • Align
    • Slew (via buttons)
