Cartes du Ciel and EQMod

[Dinoboy]

Hello I am looking for some advice, I hope someone can answer both or one question. 

Is there a way of parking my mount back to home in Cartes du Ciel. Also I cannot unpark my mount whilst in EQMOD anyone know what I need to do?

You do it in EQMOD.  Button bottom left "Park to Home Position".  When the mount is parked, it will say "Unpark".

Oh just read you can't do it in EQMOD, I am wondering why.

Hi, yes I get on that screen but where it says ‘unpark’ it just will not do it !!!

Have you tried the park/unpark function in CdC?

I use EQMod (V2.0.0) all the time with CdC (V4.2).

I can Park to Home (pointing towards the Pole) or Custom park (to clear the observatory roof) and Unpark every time - no issues.

Dino, what version of EQMod are you using? Is it only the park/ unpark function which is an issue?

When you are parked (button showing "UNPARK") do you see the mount position screen flashing "PARKED"?

Double check the unpark settings.....

Hi thanks for your replies. When EQMOD appears on the screen it switches between the ‘ Park’ screen and some coordinates. What I have done is uninstall and reinstalled it. Not yet had a chance to try it yet, but that really is not the answer because if it happens again I still need to know whether I have done something wrong.

Brown dwarf, I tried as you suggested but the red box just stayed the same, red.

Yes, when the mount is parked it flash PARKED in the coordinates area to take your attention you must unpark.

In Eqmod you can click the green + button on top until it show the message log. Maybe there is some information about why it cannot unpark.
