Welcome to Ice in Space Mike
Wow a C11 HD on a CGEM what a mad first scope! Well If was going to set up an observatory with imaging in mind. Id like a decent view of the south, because a lot of good stuff is up there. Americans spend many thousands to come and see it. Planets tend to transit slightly north of us located the lower degrees. So those are covered. Id still suggest a good view of the south. Although if your the type that likes to image messier objects, a view of the north is valuable too!
A tough one. Good luck.
