[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 740792, member: 325666"] No alignment as yet .. Spent the morning refitting the actuator arm ...and the tripod .. Ready for action at 12 noon .. Lucky break in the cloud .. The sun showed its face around 12:15 This gave me just enough time at 12:19 to do final true south alignment using the sun .. Check out the shadows cast on the dish face .. Assuming I have set the dish in the midle of the polar mounts 'swing' accurately enough .. I should be bang on .. I certainly would claim accuracy to within 2 degrees ..possibly 1 ... To that end I quickly hooked up the lnb and checked my due south sat @ 0.8W (C band) here is my first received picture ...unaligned ..but certainly booming in ...with no choke /scalar ring ...but dielectric plate fitted in a hurry.. Time for a Bacon Sarnie ... I think _so_.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
