Syntax
public void Park()

Implements

ITelescopeV3Park
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MethodNotImplementedExceptionIf the method is not implemented and CanPark is False
NotConnectedExceptionIf the device is not connected
DriverExceptionAn error occurred that is not described by one of the more specific ASCOM exceptions. The device did not successfully complete the request.
Remarks
Raises an error if there is a problem communicating with the telescope or if parking fails. Parking should put the telescope into a state where its pointing accuracy will not be lost if it is power-cycled (without moving it). Some telescopes must be power-cycled before unparking. Others may be unparked by simply calling the Unpark method. Calling this with AtPark = True does nothing (harmless)
