[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 810941, member: 325666"] Ok ...all set up outside ..F15 and positioner in place.. Strong cuppa Tea to hand ;) I thought I'd begin by checking results as they were left last night.. 28 east is there but lowish signal .. 0.8 at the top of the arc is at max signal .. So thought I'd check my azimuth by seeing what I could get as it is currently ...to the west.. began with Fransat at 5 west ...no probs Moved on to Huntinton Beach at 22 west .. There it was ..then on to Overon on Hispasat .. Again it was there at around 10db.. as with the sats east of 28 deg ...this appears to be the limit currently ...as a try for RASD at 45 west showed nowt.. Time to start declination adjustments methinks... But not bad for my first attempt.. It does look like I have the azimuth set fairly accurately.. from what I remember from the old days .. decline a little at the extremes of the arc ..and compensate by elevating mount/motor a little ..to shape the arc .. Slowly slowly catchee monkee rgds VS [/QUOTE]
