Hello all. This is the third night this has happened. I run a sequence and then go to bed. I expect the mount to park after the sequence is over so that the mount stops tracking into itself and so that dew doesn’t settle on the lens in the late evening.
I woke up this morning and noticed that SGP stated it was parking the telescope with a progress bar, but nothing had happened or was happening. Please let me know what part of the log file would be relevant here. Thanks for any insight!

I seeing the same behavior with 2.6.0.24 where my roof remained opened. I have a theory …
I have a roll-off roof that uses an IR beam to verify that the scope is parked before it closes.
On my scope I have a flip-flat with a reflecting tape that closes the beam. if the flip-flat is on the closed position the scope is reported parked else it will report unparked. Looking at the logs it appears that

Your mount’s ASCOM driver never reported back when asked to park. You would need to see what your mount thought about that command in the ASCOM driver’s logs.
This issue is not related the the OP.
