Once the mount is set pointing south, don't move it. To view in the north, the tube will basically have to do a backflip, as IceMan said. My suggestion would be after you turn it to the north, try to view objects in this direction before turning to another part of the sky and this will save a lot of moving. Also try to view objects in the west (before they get low) first and then in the east (then they will be higher). This will also save a bit of movement of the axes. An EQ mount is a lot more work to move around the skies compared to a dob, but once you find an object you can follow it (especially if you have a motor drive).
