I think you might be pleased that this LX80 mount appears to be unlike the others for latitude adjustment. From the photographs the latitude indicator appears to go all the way from 0 to 90 degrees. Of course, we would have to move the legs out of the way so that the counterweight shaft will not get stuck, but this mount also allows you to shorten the counterweight shaft, i.e. it must have screw-in sections - nice.
[Correction: The documentation says from 25 to 90, so you are correct. However the indicator goes all the way, so maybe there is a way, not that it will affect me in Sydney]
