Unfortunately there is a fixed stop to allow slight adjustment in azimuth to assist with polar alignment that prevents rotating the mount head 180 degrees. Just pulled it head off to see if I could. Thanks anyway though.
By the looks of it, I can probably polar align the mount with the counterweights off then rotate in RA to where I intend to look ... predominantly south to southwest where the light pollution is the least .... and remember if I swing too far the other way that the tripod leg is there.
Failing that .... smaller / modified counterweights will be the next option.
