[QUOTE="Tim Bamber, post: 902282, member: 402836"] Hi everyone, I'm in the process of setting up the dish in the attached photos. [ATTACH]69282[/ATTACH] I bought it second hand and only a few miles from where i live therefore I expected the elevation to be more or less accurate, however, the information I have found on the internet from many different sources tells me that the dish was elevated much higher than it should be. I have the base set up accurately... [ATTACH]69283[/ATTACH] My main goal is to view 27.5W Intelsat but I ideally want to get it setup properly to make use of the motorised capability. I have calculated the offset angle of the dish to be 24.6 based on the help provided here: -[url]http://www.satsig.net/pointing/finding-dish-offset-angle.htm[/url] and I know that my dish elevation is supposed to be 29.4 based on my location etc from dish pointer.com What i need to know is as I'm no mathematical genius, if someone would be so kind, is what angle should the face of the dish be? I can accurately measure this angle with the inclinometer on the dish frame shown here.. [ATTACH]69284[/ATTACH] What I'm not so confident at is using the angle here.. [ATTACH]69285[/ATTACH] especially when it comes to calculating the declination. Any assistance would be very much appreciated, particularly from anyone who can identify the make or who has a similar dish to this. Thank you. Timinuk [/QUOTE]
