[QUOTE="a33, post: 1166565, member: 332642"] Yes, it is nice to have an accurate calculator for that. :) [ATTACH alt="D4ftpunk Multifeed skew Oct2024 Schermafdruk berekening.png"]158353[/ATTACH] I developed it, after noticing that multifeed skew calculators often had rather differing outcomes, with often unknown calculation methods, or clearly incorrect calculation methods (for instance the methods based on azimuth difference and elevation difference). It took me quite some time to discover this correct calculation method, and work it out mathematically. If you just want a rough estimate for multifeed skew angle: take the ('theoretical') skew value of the central satellite position (above the arm). 'Theoretical' value in the sense, that you don't take the possible pre-skew (for for instance Astra and Eutelsat satellites) into account. This estimate works quite well for more or less "symmetrical" multifeed setups, where the central satellite position is about in the middle between the extreme satellite positions. For more "one-sided" multifeed setups, it is a bit less accurate, but still usable. But now that I have an exact calculator, I don't need estimates anymore! :cool: (Why use an estimate, when you can have the exact value?)
