How to do a Meridian Flip

The process of how to do a meridian flip in astrophotography can be quite daunting if you've never done it before. In this video I break down what a meridian flip is, why we do it, and most importantly HOW we do it. I'm using a Sky-Watcher GOTO equatorial mount, with a widefield refractor but the process will be similar on any mount. Carrying out a meridian flip will ensure our imaging equipment doesn't get damaged and allows us to image all night long.
