Is this my longitute/ latitude

[surfgeek]

Just going to attempt to mount my motor, I would be greatful if somebody could confirm if these are my settings for usuals set up
Dishpointer reports my position as
Latitude: 53.425°
Longitude: -1.063°

So the settings I need are
Latitude 53.4 North
Longitude 1 West

Is this right?

I am going to line up my dish & motor due south, switch on usuals, enter long/ lat & send my dish to Thor 0.8. Then get best signal on Thor. Is this the best way ?

Thanks

If you can enter 1.06 then do so, or perhaps 1.1 if it only allows 1 decimal place.

Send your dish to Thor using USALS and then move the lot round the mast to due South and fine tune the dish elevation adjustment and the whole assembly azimuth until you find Thor.

Thanks Rolfw, yes I will use as many decimal points as possible,but am I correct that it is 1.06 west not east, thanks
