Exactly true.

How long past meridian can it track now? Well, I suppose it depends on a number of things including the length of your scope out to end of your equipment / camera, plus the height your equipment is mounted above your dovetail, plus if you use that 30cm extension to the pier.

I have a TOA130 with STL11, high set above the dovetail (about 150mm), and I have that extension to the pier, so the if the camera is rotated at 90degrees (cable end up), about 2 hours past safely, with the cable end down, over an hour easy.

But after all that, I still flip at zenith to be safe.
