![]() Any updated pointing model is saved for later and the Axis1/2 stepper drivers are disabled. ![]() The telescope will then be moved to the park position you previously set. Park: When done using OnStep for the night press the Park button. Once aligned do a goto to put the telescope in the desired orientation then press the Set-Park button. Start OnStep in the usual way and do an alignment. Set-Park: The first step in using the parking feature is to tell OnStep how you want the telescope orientated while parked. Parking allows OnStep to remember the pointing model information and also to leave the telescope in a user defined orientation while not in use. If the mount has a Tangent Arm for Declination ( AXIS2_TANGENT_ARM setting in Config.h) Find/Home moves just the Declination axis back to center. If the mount doesn't have home switches (most cases) the mount must be aligned to find the home position properly. If the mount has physical home switches installed and home sensing enabled (#define HOME_SENSE_ON) there is no need for the mount to be aligned, it can be in any orientation and still return to home properly. All current pointing model information is lost (un-parking might still recover it though.) If an error occured when parking, this will also clear that error.įind/Home: OnStep moves the (active w/stepper drivers enabled) telescope back to the home position and disables tracking but does not reset the controller or disable the motor drivers. The Axis1/2 stepper drivers are then disabled. Home/Reset: the telescope controller is re-initialized as though it was just powered on. One is a Home/Reset where you manually move the telescope and the other is a Find/Home where OnStep moves the telescope. ![]() OnStep has two commands (controls) available to move the telescope back to this position. ![]() ![]() The telescope Home Position is described above under the section "Mount Orientation" of the Using OnStep page. ![]()
