How to modify the AM5 Park Position ?

That is NOT the correct Park position. Yes of course I've tried that button. I've been trying that button for 2 years now and it DOES NOT DO THE RIGHT THING.

Just FYI, I bought a Mach2GTO because of my frustrations with AM5. I'm selling the AM5 and cannot recommend this mount for any serious astroimaging. It cannot handle the most basic park functionality and I've wasted over 1000 hours of troubleshooting and near damage to my scope because of this. At this point the AM5 is more of a toy for people doing mobile imaging from time to time which is fine but if you want to have a dedicated setup in a shed or observatory the AM5 is not the right mount.

Why would you spend upwards of 1000 hours attempting to park it when there’s no capability of doing so??? That doesn’t make sense.

area51 I’m sure your new mount is great. And in no way am I trying to be snarky but isn’t it a bit of a stretch to compare a mount at about 6x the cost to the AM5?

That’s essentially comparing a Nissan Altima to a Bentley Flying Spur.

OMG, i just found out the AM5N doesn't have a park position. WTF? How am I supposed to park the scope tucked away in my remote observatory automatically?

Can't speak to the AM5N but the AM5 has a Park position. It just fails to tell (in my case) NINA that it is parked. We have been waiting a long time for this to be fixed!
