[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 706159, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. Great day for me as I've just added another Cband notch to my belt .. The location of my 1.8m dish led me to believe that accessing this bird was impossible.. My dish is low down and at this elevation has many obstacles in its path. Some ajustment of the actuator allowed another 15 degrees of movement westward.. But locating the Sat was a problem.. So First I located myself on the google satellite locater map ..and got my theoretical line of sight:- Next I had the bright idea of mounting a small camera on the back of the LNBF ...then moving the dish ...whilst watching the the 'Dish eye view' until I got the line suggested by dishpointer/google maps ... Result .. I was within 2 degrees of optimum .. A bit of Tweaking and I had my first pictures from Bolivia.. looks like I'm gonna be busy this afternoon scanning in a new Bird.. A couple of pics from Bolivian TV to be going on with .. I'll post some more exotica later ..if anyones interested.. rgds 2 all VS :) [/QUOTE]
