[QUOTE="aceb, post: 743681, member: 268811"] Thanks for the lengthy reply VS, it does sound like it's worth doing now. The corner of the garden is actually where the hens used to live and my other half has been on about getting some more so I think just need to convince her they can co-habit up there, it'll make a nice sunshade anyway! I'm more of a twiddler and enthusiast than a viewer too but she's used to my strange habits anyway, I've been a radio amateur since we met 30 years ago so she's had plenty of time to get used to sad geekiness lol It's not a bad arc but I'd actually prefer it if it was the other way with a low easterly horizon, there is one spot on this property I can see to about 70E but it's basically on top of the fence between us and next door so a bit of a non starter for C band. A couple of years ago I was donated a 1.2m Precision polar mount from a friend who could watch 75E Ku on a clear morning with about 0.3° elevation! I think it's time to give it all a clean up and see if it's worth anything so I can fund the summer C band project. [/QUOTE]
