Get the motor elevation to the correct angle using a digital angle gauge (like in the picture) if possible. A non digital one will get you within about 1º but you will end up being off at the ends of the arc.Once the motor elevation is correct set the motor to its central position and facing south. Your southern satellite is 5ºW but you are at 3.23ºW so you need to move the motor 1.78º to the west. 1224 motor is 12 clicks per degree so send it 21 clicks to the west. Now all you have to do is line up on 5ºW by moving the dish up and down and swivelling the motor around the mast. After this declination will be correct and if you got your mast plumb it should track spot on.</blockquote>
