I usuallly try to avoid the meridian for this reason...I don't like the sound of a motor hitting its limit.

Actually one night I was setting up the scope and one of the alignment stars was very close to the meridian. By the time I finished the alignment I think it had gone to the other side and the scopes poor little brain couldn't handle it! It got stuck in a loop and I had to reset...so now I don't choose stars close to the meridian for this reason as well.
