AtPark to True.

Syntax
Exceptions| Exception | Condition |
|---|
| MethodNotImplementedException | If the method is not implemented and CanPark is False |
| NotConnectedException | If the device is not connected |
| DriverException | An error occurred that is not described by one of the more specific ASCOM exceptions. Include sufficient detail in the message text to enable the issue to be accurately diagnosed by someone other than yourself. |
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)
