yea Carl thats why I brought the Ioptron IEQ45 mount it goes to 5 degrees ( nice mount with awsome software ). It easily works here in Darwin at 12 degrees south.

Means if I want to use their mount in eq mode, I have to travel all the way down to Ayr or Bowen just to set the damn thing up!!!!!. 25 degrees south puts me nearly in Bundaberg!!!!!. How easy would it be for them just to make their mount 0-90 degrees and be done with it!!!.  A little bit more machining....sheesh.
Or maybe, according to them, no one lives outside of the US.....  |
