Do you need a meridian flip with north transits?

[StuartT]

This is probably a very dumb question, but is a meridian flip necessary for targets that transit north? I'm currently imaging the Pinwheel and from my latitude this is a transit north, rather than south. 

I can't seem to get my head around the geometry of it all. 🤔

Thanks

Before the scope hits the tripod or some cable snags happen. If thats not happening then not maybe necessary, so the same as southern meridian crossings.

Well this is a short scope and there's no chance of tripod collision. I guess I am trying to figure out if the counterweights would go higher than the scope (as happens in a south transit).

I guess I need to play with it in daytime to actually see how everything moves. I'm having a hard time figuring it out just now

Whenever Ekos has done a flip at the southern Meridian, it informs me that the next flip is due in 12 hours, not in 24. And how else, the next day, would the scope be in the same position as pre-flip?

I can't say I pay too much attention to it, but NINA seems to want to flip when a target crosses the meridian, regardless of North or South.

Mounts flip as the cross the meridian line
