When the telescope passes the meridian?
So these EQ mounts.. when i'm tracking an object (let's say, Jupiter) that's getting close to the meridian, the telescope is almost pointing straight up. Any further, and the bottom of the tube will start knocking the leg of the tripod.
So what's next?
Do I need to basically need to re-orient the scope so that the whole thing is facing west of the meridian? I guess i'll need to rotate the OTA as well to get the focuser in a useable position?
