Michel, Custom park positions are feature only supported in the LX200 GPS scopes. The LX90 or any Autostar 1st generation scopes currently have no custom park feature. Possibly Meade may see fit to implement this in a future update. You can always request this buy a note to engineer (at)meade.com with something like "enhancements to autostar version 4.2Ed" or whatever your current version is in the subject line so they will know where to route the email. If you are well polar aligned you have an easy workaround for this. Unlatch the Dec clutch before the Park command is issued so the ccd is not slammed into the base. On next startup goto a bright star and manual position the Dec with the star and you are aligned. Meade treats the celestial sphere as a rigid sphere so if your polar alignment is good you only need to resync the sphere. Doing a two star alignment is moot if you have good polar alignment. Bob
