[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1148933, member: 176704"] Methods used by various people: - a compass aligned along the flat vertical sides of the motor bracket - if the dish has a [I]single[/I] feedarm, a compass aligned along that. - use the compass to position a pole/cane at 0/0.8W in the ground/on a fence (etc) some yards in front of the dish, and then point the dish at that - [I]that would be my preferred method in many cases as it then gives you a semi-permanent point at which to point the dish without having to continually refer back to the compass[/I] - if no compass, then wait until the Sun is shining at [I]exactly[/I] 12.00 GMT (i.e. 13.00 BST!) and erect the cane/pole between the dish and the Sun. [I]Other people to add other methods, please![/I] [/QUOTE]
