Hi Gonzothegreat :-)

Thanks for the reply. I understand that the telescope has to be pointed to the "regular" park position (counter weight down, looking north) precisely first, as described in your post. I just don't see how to proceed from there. Using the Kstars/Ekos telescope simulator, the telescope should be perfectly aligned with the earth's rotation axis. Slewing to a point near or on the northern horizon and setting this as new park position only updates the RA/DEC coordinates unter INDI control panel -> Telescope Simulator -> Site Management. These coordinates are also found in .indi/ParkData.xml. However, positions in the sky described by RA/DEC coordinates move with time. What I need is to define ALT/AZ coordinates here, I guess. How did you fix that problem?
