Side by side mounting on EQ6?

Hello again

I'm considering a side by side mount for my newtonian and ED80 on my EQ6 mount but I'm having problems on concieving how, once I've mounted the cross bar on the top declination axis with it turned 90 degrees, the mount doesn't get confused with it's coordinates etc.

Is it a matter of simply parking and redefining the coordinates in the mount somehow or do I need some kind of encoder.

Sorry I'm very fuzzy on this one.



cheers

Mike
