[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 743342, member: 323322"] From your pics, the siting of the dish is fine. However, I think that you have set the motor angle wrong, which is why the dish angle is only 15 deg or so, whereas it should be more. Motors often have two scales, one graduated directly in Latitude and the other in "Elevation". IGNORE the "Elevation" scale and set the Motor angle to 52 against the Latitude scale. Then you'll find the whole assembly is pointing lower, so then increase the dish bracket angle to compensate. Once you've done that, you'll be able to track the whole arc, not just a little bit in the middle. ie You'll get 28E with ease. You've cracked the back of this, so just do as advised and all will be well. [/QUOTE]
