This prevents the scope from tying the power cord round and round the tripod. On the nexstar (and probably other scopes) the no-crossover line can be set anywhere. By default, the nexstar has due north as the no-cross line. But this is readily changed as desired. The only annoyance is that it needs to be reset to your preferred direction every time you turn on the scope.
