Default Advice on EQ mount


Do you actually mean to say the northern sky? I could understand the
difficulty of photographing objects directly overhead because the camera
will not allow the scope to pass through the fork, but I can't


Hi:

Things do get impossible as you get close to the pole with a fork if you can't
pass the tube rear through the forks. But...I'm not sure what's to image so far
north, anyway...

Peace,
