If you do what I think you're describe ie turn the mount to the north, then it wont work (some smart alec will come along and say yes it will just to confuse you but it will be awkward, its not what you are trying to achieve). You line the RA axis up with the SCP and leave it. You'll find the scope will twist around to the north on the two axes with no troubles, it will cover the whole sky, just like the dob did. Regardless as to whether you can actually see the SCP or not, it still has to be facing that way. Just try pushing it around without any motors working to start with (let the locks off and go loose) so you get an idea of how it moves.
