Hi all,
I use a HEQ5pro mount (carrying my C9.25) to video record asteroid occultations and I have a predicted event tomorrow night that is located very close to north (ie azimuth 0deg). Does meridian flip occur right on 'north' as it tracks? If so, is there a setting that can stop it from happening? My recordings normally run for about 7 mins, sometimes up to 20 mins, so I'd only need to (potentially) track that far past north.
My SynScan handset runs version 3.35.
Thanks in advance - Dean
