I'd be surprised if that was the case....but very cool if it is.
While the PMEII will go three hours past the Meridian, I am impressed the AP is not really limited in that respect.

I am not really sure Peter if you can click on an object in the Sky X like that. Perhaps, perhaps not. I'd have to try it out.
But the AP manual is full of detail about changing the tracking rates and it will track on other objects. Its a pretty comprehensive keypad which is quite simply laid out. I haven't needed to do that so haven't checked it out further beyond noting the interesting features.
There would be a point where going past the meridian is not worth it and 3 hours is plenty, after all that is 45 degrees from vertical. I often don't image below or past that very often anyway.
