I could slew to it manually with a more equipment friendly attitude on the other side of the meridian. My question is, is the mount smart enough to be configurable to choose the more sane of two posible ways to goto such an object or will I be forever restricted in what i can point at with goto  |
Not sure why it would hit. Mine will only allow the mount to go a very little bit past horizontal before doing a flip.
Which way do you have the tripod oriented? I swapped mine around so there is 1 leg aiming south only. The scope never ties to hit the leg (but I do have a short VC200L and not a very long refractor)
