hey guys
ive only ever used DISEQ motors, the downwards pointing ones...so bear with me on this.
my question is, if using a polar mount, does it "twist" \ arc the dish (offset) in the same way as a DISQC motor would - or is it a more left and right type movement ...
similar question, if setting up a dish WITHOUT A MOTOR, i.e a manual A/Z mount, for an extreme arc location i.e 45e (when my due south is 0 approx) - on the basis the dish cannot twist during setup, would it just be a case of swinging the dish far east and point downwards (roughly speaking)
i guess what im asking is, is there any possibility you could get a signal MANUALLY when manually aligning, but NOT a motor setup using a motor which is tracking the arc perfectly?
