Hi Ake,

I am running the same hardware as you apart from I am using the latest KStars/indi/ekos nightly build running on RPi4 8GB under Ubuntu 21.04.1 rather than Stellarmate
Parking is still an issue with CEM40 in that the indi gui will show that the mount is parked but ekos shows it is unparked (when in reality it is parked). Pressing park gives a log report that the mount is slewing but no movement occurs even when the mount is away from the parked position (i.e. unparked and tracking). I get around this by using the "go to home" function in the indi gui and this does the same as park.

In my set-up it is possible to take images in the parked position and when not tracking. Everything appears to work well on the current nightly build.

Hope this helps.

Mike
