Ok, I have tried finding the answer here on the forum but haven't really got anything that I am comfortable with.

I have a 10" collapsible dob and want to have some settings for the altitude component. I already have the azimuth circle on the base and that seems to work well. I've printed the template on another thread I found here.

Research tells me that the altitude settings are from 45 degrees (horizon) to 90 degrees (zenith). If I use Sky Safari I am hoping the co-ordinates on that are based on my location.

So that said, anything with a altitude measurement lower than 45 degrees isn't viewable?

Well, I think I have answered my own question as I write this but want to be doubly sure this is correct before I go sticking things on my scope and make adjustments to it.
