Hi,
I have a problem with TeenAstro, which I'm trying to replace FS2.
Kstars does not automatically update the date and time on TeenAstro upon connection.
Has anyone had this problem and know the solution?
Thank you

PyIndi
In the TELESCOPE_PARK_POSITION property it is possible to set the value of PARK_AZ and PARK_ALT instead of PARK_RA and PARK_DEC?

ex:
PARK={'alt': 0.1, 'az': 1.0 }
telescope_park_pos=device_telescope.getNumber("TELESCOPE_PARK_POSITION")
while not(telescope_park_pos):
time.sleep(0.5)
telescope_park_pos=device_telescope.getNumber("TELESCOPE_PARK_POSITION")
telescope_park_pos[0].value=PARK
telescope_park_pos[1].value=PARK
indiclient.sendNewNumber(telescope_park_pos)

Thanks

Hi,In a Python 3.8 script, using the HORIZONTAL_COORD property I cannot get the Alt and Az values ​​of the telescope, while I can get the other properties (eg EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD, GEOGRAPHIC_COORD or TELESCOPE_INFO), both with Telescope Simulator and with Losmandy Gemini.
Can you help me?
Thanks
