[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 875836, member: 243342"] Well, yes :) 15.5 degrees is how high the satellite is above horizon, rather than the angle it hits the dish at. There's probably a formula to calculate various angles but I suspect to do what you propose is probably a bit trickier with an offset dish than a PF one. With a PF one, you could just attach a small camera to the centre of the dish and see what the obstructions are at various locations. I believe @[USER=325666]Vipersan[/USER] did something like that.
