A zenith blind spot is a region in which an altazimuth mount cannot follow a target because the required axis motion exceeds a drive constraint. A finite slew across an exact zenith crossing gives a lost-track interval; a full forbidden footprint additionally depends on the target trajectory, acceleration and the control strategy. It need not be circular.
