[Chaos-l] Australian Telescope

[Robert Nielsen]

Jon (or anyone else),

So this is interesting to me.    Is there a possible "problem" with this 
telescope mount because it was purchased in Australia and is somehow 
"setup" to work in the southern hemisphere?   Or are all Celestron 
mounts setup for northern hemisphere by default?
