[QUOTE="a33, post: 1159789, member: 332642"] OK. Traditional motor angles would be axis elevation angle 33.9 degrees and dish declination offset angle 7.9 degrees. The better modified motor angles (I use 0-horizon fit approach nowadays) would be 0.5 degrees different: Modified motor angles would be axis elevation angle 33.4 degrees and dish declination offset angle 7.4 degrees. In your photo you've put the inclinometer in such a way, that when the axis is vertical (elevation = 0), the meter would read 90; that is if I interpret your photo correctly. So that way, you'd have to set it at 90-33.4 = 56.6 degrees. Aiming at due south, the clarke belt is at elevation 26.1 (33.4-7.4, with 0.1 rounding error). The elevation of the dish face, due south, would be 26.1-dish offset angle. This would help you out? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
