Hi,
I tried to search online without any real solution. I have the latest firmware on my AM5 mount 1.6.3. In my advance sequencer in NINA, if the safety monitor detect an issue I run the instruction to park the mount. The mount slews to the park position but the instruction in NINA keeps running until it says "Park cancelled". Is this happening to someone else? Do you know why this happens? And how can be solved? Please avoid answer like "go home" because it is a remote observatory so i need to put the mount in park position to avoid collissions.
Thanks in advance for your help
More info about the verison of driver and firmware for each component: ASIMount -> firmware 1.6.3 ASCOM Driver for the mount -> 6.5.21 NINA version -> 3.1HF2 Ascom Platform -> 6.6 SP2 (tried also with latest 7.1)
I raised a ticket about this in February 2024. ZWO said that they would be working on a fix.
Someone on the NINA Discord said that ZWO had not implemented "AtPark" in their ASCOM driver.
I await an update (im)patiently!
They replied to me that in NINA 3.2 this behaviour should be fixed. I have not tried because 3.2 is the nightly version. When they will release the stable version I ll give it a try. In the meantime I implemented a custom function in NINA that after the park command checks every 5 secs if the mount has reached the park position.
I have NINA 3.2, the latest firmware and up to date ASCOM and the problem still persists..
Yeah, as of the end of March 2025, this hasn't been fixed. It's a simple ask, in fact, it should've been in the code at launch. Why even bother having a park position if the mount can't even confirm that it's parked? It's just novelty at this point.
