[QUOTE="lee32uk, post: 10541, member: 175299"] Hi everyone I need a couple of questions answering regarding installing a 'cryptik' mount.I have a fairly good idea how to do it but i just want to make sure. My setup is Force D-Master 1122S, 88cm triax dish, cryptik mount. I have managed to install the motor onto the wall bracket and also attatched the dish to it.I have the 'zero point' on the motor pointing at 12 oclock along with the dish. I understand then from looking at the manual that i need to select a channel from 1deg west and then add 2.5 degrees for my location (Manchester).Once the motor is on 3.5 degrees i then turn the dish and motor by loosening the 'U' bolts on the mount where it is fixed to the wall bracket until the dish is pointing at 1deg west.At the moment it is pointing in the direction of Astra1.Once i have located thor i then align by moving the dish up/down and by moving the dish/mount left to right.Once i have a good signal i then tighten all the nuts so it is all fixed in position. Does this all sound right ? I just wanna make sure before i attempt it. Thx for any help guys Lee [/QUOTE]
