[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 891590, member: 323322"] The practical outcome is correct, so if it ain't broke ................ But there are many factors which mean simply determining a compass bearing by deducting the Satellite position from 180 is generally not sufficient: Not least of which is that the actual required bearing depends upon your own position in the Northern Hemisphere - my 28E dish in N.England certainly won't point to the same bearing as yours in France. Then there are all sorts of factors due to the difference between True North and Magnetic North. etc. etc. But the desired end was achieved, so that's actually all that matters! [/QUOTE]
