Re: tracking past meridian...

Hi Greg,

Doing a daytime setup to set your G-11 RA safety limits is definitely the best way to go. Every combination of tripod and scope will be a little different. I regularly track past meridian with my G-11 on an 8" ATS pier. Occasionally being able to go just a little past allows me to avoid a meridian flip altogether. It sounds like a nice setup you are putting together.

Clear skies,
Milt
