Dobsonian Tilt ?

G,day all,

I'm curious to know whether a Dob base could be tilted to match latitude of where someone lives? This then is the next question. If so would something like ArgoNavis then be able to track whatever the scope is aimed at? Of course alignment to the pole would have to be spot on? I new it would only be a matter of time before i asked something that would sound crazy.
I layed in bed 2 nights ago and couldn't sleep. Three hours later i'd designed an observatory from the ground up. My poor missus didn't like the tossing and turning. So i told her i'd finally gone over the edge,and promptly left the room,lol.

Cheers from an insane,
Duncan
