I have a Meade LX200R/GPS 14”. When I “PARK” the scope, the software in the scope keeps tracking the sky. Even when the scope is powered down. Then after a couple of hours I power up the scope, but now the software and the scope are two different places. How can I stop this. So the scope software stops tracking the sky, when It’s in Park mode. Mejer -------------------- kepp your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

When you unpark the scope, then you need to make a sync on a star, to correct mechanical error between the scope and the software. Have I got if right??? -------------------- kepp your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

It will stay on Polaris until you start up again. -------------------- George -------------- SkyShed POD XL-3 LX200GPS 203mm f10 StellarVue SV102ED2 Feathertouch Ser#0018 LXD75 GOTO with Orion 16" pier extension Baader Hyperion 8mm ,13mm, 21mm + FTRs 2" GSO ED barlow, 2" SV Dielectric and Orion Prism Diagonals Post Extras:       Rick Woods Postmaster Reged: 01/27/05 Posts: 5648 Loc: Inner Solar System Re: How to fix this problem ??

When you restart the telescope, it thinks its still at the same date/time as when you PARKed it - until it gets its GPS fix. At that point, when you sync on a star, you're good to go. -------------------- - Rick 14" LX200GPS 83% of all statistics are meaningless.
