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)
