Default A Question About Orbits.

Can a natural object assume a (I don't know the real terms) non-equatorial orbit? I'm not talking about a circumpolar orbit, I mean assume an orbit around, lets say, the 20th parallel (only up high, of course) or do they always have to cut across the parent objects middle or center of gravity?


(Boy, that was poorly articulated)
