Description
Long story but see this Comm Center thread by Peter Prendergast. The logic for "assure park" that was implemented as a defence against the uncommanded disconnect on park of TheSky is now only needed for TheSky 6 and earlier. Make this logic optional and default it to OFF. Someting is preventing orderly shutdown at Peter's, and this feature is getting in the way. I have had other issues in the past with it masking other problems.

Check-in comment The complex and strange logic for TheSky's "uncommand disconnect on park" issue is not optional and defaults to OFF. Unless specifically enabled in Preferences, Telescope tab, this logic is replaced with a simple call to park the scope and wait for completion. The Park and Unpark items in the Telescope menu now reflect the current park state of the scope. GEM:1574

Also made Telescope menu park/unpark items reflect actual telescope state. Man, that one was a LONG time coming.
