Any of our mounts using the Gemini GoTo:

You can rotate the DEC axis to have the optical axis of the scope pointing south and the counterweight down, then turn on the Gemini.
There is no need to drill and rotate the saddles on the DSBS.
I hope this is helpful.

well that's not the experience i got, but hey who am i to argue? great product which is why i bought the titan, also have a g11. but i found in the dome the dome software was reading the position of the shaft and if i turned it 90 degrees to put on the sbs bar it had a hissy fit with the dome software. so this was my hardware fix. as for the EQ8 it locates its centre and the encoders read the position.
