[QUOTE="fergyc, post: 745807, member: 347452"] I was going to make a long and detailed post about the elevation angles per hour and how I track it manually but my PC logged off half way through, making me lost it and miss the Blackhawks goal. So after much swearing I'll write a shortened version. From 9am to 9pm the elevation increases by 8 degrees so that's 0.6' degrees per hour or 0.01' per minute From 9pm to 9am the elevation decreases by 8 degrees so that's 0.6' degrees per hour or 0.01' per minute So Viper may be onto something. If a program can be created to increase the elevation by 0.01' per minute from 9am to 9pm and decrease the same amount from 9pm to 9am then the satellite would be tracked perfectly. I'll upload a picture of my setup consisting of a Sky Zone 2 dish, a ladder and some tools tomorrow. My "manual inclination tracker". It works quite well by adjusting the elvation by 0.6' every hour! I did write a semi-accurate schedule but I lost that when I got logged off [/QUOTE]
