[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 685662, member: 256551"] The declination is the dish elevation effectively. The elevation setting is the bit that enables you to get the axis of rotation aligned with the earth's polar axis The declination setting, is where you tilt the dish itself up/down. You have one of two problems, you arc is either 'wonky' or offset to one side. Make sure your pole is plumb. Also when the polar mount is at the top of the arc, the dish must face exaclty at due south. Yours it twisted westward a little, hence dropping it down a bit.(assuming that the pole is plumb). I would use a digital angle guage to get the elevation correct. [/QUOTE]
