Hi all:

If I initially use my goto on my 9.25sct and Jupiter is to the west, will it go there...past the meridian, I mean? If so I would then have to do a meridian flip?

Thanks again

Cheers

It should just go there on 'goto' although some will just stop if you are viewing when it goes past the meridian. If your goto has an 'allow meridian flip' setting, I think it does it for you and gives a warning.

Have to say I've never tried it myself.

Hi Roger. If your 9.25 SCT is fork mounted, then I didn't think that a meridian flip is ever needed, as the lower end of the tube cannot hit the tripod at any position.

If it is mounted on a German EQ, maybe it's possible for contact to occur between tube and mount at some positions ?

Or maybe I'm not grasping your enquiry properly.
