Hi Wildi
I did a bit more troubleshooting and it appears that the settings for Park 2 and Park 3 are the same. So when when manually set in the Park 3 position it still thinks that it is in the Park 2 position and this is shown on the sky chart. To my simplistic view it would be a matter of resetting the mount co-ordinates for Park 3 to the proper AP Park 3 which is weights down and Dec 90 deg. All the other Park positions work perfectly as described by the Astrophysics manual (1,2 and 4).
Hope that this is of some help

Hi Wildi,
In a word "no" but happy to learn. Any tips where I can upskill? I will start with GIThub?
Crazy busy at work but can look at this as a replacement for gym, socialising, pub life, going out for meals etc, etc, etc.
I appreciate the pointers in the error log.

OK all done.
Just checking that you don't want me to create a clone as per the INDI repo instructions.
I have an error code on a Cmake . Here is the last part of the terminal code
mike@mike-pi:~$ mkdir -p ~/Projects
mike@mike-pi:~$ cd ~/Projects
mike@mike-pi:~/Projects$ mkdir -p ~/Projects/build/indi-core
mike@mike-pi:~/Projects$ cd ~/Projects/build/indi-core
mike@mike-pi:~/Projects/build/indi-core$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/mike/Projects/indi" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
mike@mike-pi:~/Projects/build/indi-core$ make -j4
Is this OK to proceed
I have not entered the sudo make install
So if the above is OK. We are ready for the next step

Hello Mike
my fault. Do the following steps in the terminal (line by line, dropping lines containing "#")
Background: INDI (mount) drivers are coded structurally almost in identical way. I convinced myself that I found at least one bug. E.g. in drivers/telescope/lx200ap.cpp it looks likewhile in drivers/telescope/lx200ap_experimental.cpp it is the other way round:
I attached the corrected file drivers/telescope/lx200ap_experimental.cpp as lx200ap_experimental.txt since the forum software does not accept files ending with .cpp.
Download it and I assume that the attachment is stored, as usual, under ~/Downloads, do the following:
Now we can proceed to the next level
Kind regards, wildi
