Just guessing here. The zenith problem would come about through the azimuth encoder. Obviously, if you pick a star at the zenith, you can rotate the dob around 360 deg on the azimuth and still have it centred. I guess I don't go much above 70 deg elevation - for convenience, if nothing else. Also I don't drop much below 30 deg elevation for alignment stars.
